May 2-June 1- One Body, Many Parts Art Exhibit
" Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work." Ephesians 4:15-16) Paul exhorted the believers to grow the body of Christ, or the church, by maintaining, living, and doing the truth in love. Truth becomes hard if it is not softened by love; love becomes soft if it is not strengthened by truth. Olive Branch Community Church of Corona calls for two-dimensional images that express the meaning behind the above verses and/or answer these questions: How are you “growing the body of Christ” through your role as an artist? What part do you play? This art show is the kickoff event for a new gallery program at Olive Branch Community Church.
