Arts at FLC
Seeing is believing. The visual arts are an important facet of our worship and community at First Lutheran. Since our sanctuary is simple and peaceful, it lends itself to the addition of works of art for a particular season or a special occasion.
From the beginning of the congregation, talented members have contributed visual elements to the worship environment. During the Christmas and Easter seasons, hand-crafted candle holders are attached to the ends of each pew. We recently restored a pair of wooden floor candelabra (shown at right) made by an unknown member from the past. Several small pieces of furniture, still used and valued, were built as Scout projects in the 1950s and 1960s.
We often create special environments for a particular season in the liturgical year: hangings, banners, paintings, hand-made bulletin covers. Our Christmas tree is hung with snowflakes crocheted by Irene Gronwall, shown at bottom. A few years ago, member Marguerite Fletcher graced the sanctuary with a series of paintings illustrating the Mysteries of the Rosary.
Who knows what inspiration will materialize next? Come and see!
