Celebrating the Arts in Worship
First United Presbyterian Church of De Pere and the Winnebego Presbytery hosted a groundbreaking event from January 16-26, 2014 called “Celebrating the Arts in Worship” led by professional artist/musician/educator, Stephen Titra, as our artist-in-residence. It proved to be a wonderful ten days exploring painting, music, clay, wind chimes, liturgical movement, flower arranging, knitting, sign language, drum circles, candle making, bread baking, grapevine wreaths, memory boxes, and more. The various gatherings, Festival Day, and worship services reached several hundred people - young and old - from De Pere, Green Bay, Neenah, Appleton, Oshkosh, Fond du Lac, Manitowoc, and beyond. Folks from many religious backgrounds joined together to explore and expand their creative outlook regarding worship. It was an amazing event that touched many people in many positive ways. Thanks to everyone who was a part of our celebration!
