My Story. Our Story. God’s Story. Makes Its Debut on Easter Sunday

By April 20, 2022April 21st, 2022News

If you were at church on Easter Sunday, you couldn’t help but notice the My Story. Our Story. God’s Story. mosaic that made its debut in the Commons area that day! The mosaic showcases 175 total canvases, including 138 submitted by member households, 24 memorials of members lost during 2020 and 2021 and 13 with the most-used words by the congregation to describe the last two years. The mosaic, representing our collected pandemic stories, is more than one can take in with just a glance. As one member said, “It will take me hours to take in all the thoughts and feelings expressed in the mosaic.” Make time to stop and look at the individual canvases within the mosaic. They each tell the personal story of a fellow First Lutheran sister or brother or family living through a pandemic these past two years.

If you find yourself curious about a particular canvas and its meaning or story, note the number sticker on the canvas. Then, go to the QR codes hanging on the wall to the right of the mosaic and see if there is a code with that canvas number on it. If there is, take your smart phone and scan the QR code. It will take you to the online story the creator shared about their canvas. If you submitted a canvas, but didn’t share your online story, it’s not too late. Simply complete and submit the online story form at https://flclincoln.org/submit-story. You will need to know your canvas number to complete the form. If you do not remember it, email mystory.ourstory.godsstory@gmail.com and we will provide it for you.

We will be starting a second mosaic with the canvases that are still coming in or yet to be created. It’s not too late to add your finished canvas to the mosaic! If you need a canvas, email us at the address above. Return your finished canvas to the church and we will be sure to include it in the ever-growing mosaic!
