“Build houses and settle down;” Jeremiah 29:5a
2)
“Plant gardens and eat what they produce.” Jeremiah 29:5b
3)
“Also,
seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you” Jeremiah 29:7
And our fourth theme….
4)
“I will gather you from all nations and places…”
declares the Lord, “and I will bring you back to the place from which I carried
you.”
All of these themes are from the Bible on building
community. The fourth theme, the
students learned, is all about God calling all peoples, from all backgrounds,
to build community together wherever they are.
Mr. Andrew and Amir would be working all that day to put final touches
on the mural, so we all made some fun art projects inside. One of our special crafts for the day was
making people from all nations and places out of paper dolls, crayons, fabric,
felt, and yarn. Each child made two
people – one to take home with them, and one to place on the LYN House wall to
be a part of a ‘community.’ The kids
also had fun creating a scrapbook page as a memento of their week at Art Camp.
The rest of the day was used to prepare for our Mural Reveal
Party! Parents, family, and friends all
turned out to celebrate the unveiling of the mural our kids had worked so hard
to complete that week. Cake, popcorn,
and lemonade was served to welcome everyone; then we all made our way to the
community garden to see the wall. Four
of the students were chosen to each read the verse/theme for each section of
the wall as it was unveiled. The kids
all took great pride in what they had accomplished, and the mural looks beautiful!!
The unveiling...
