About our Series Imagery
Our advent series is titled "from Promise to Praise" and follows the stories of Simeon, Zachariah, the Angels and Mary's worship pointing to the infant Christ as God's proven faithfulness to them, to Abraham and his offspring, and to us! "The season of Advent is a season of waiting - a season to cultivate our awareness of God's actions - past, present, and future." (The Worship Resource Book) We hear the promise of the Messiah given to Isreal and join in the praise of his coming! And with this heightened anticipation, advent helps us to live in a holy anticipation, longing for the ultimate fulfillment of his promise to come again.
To visually narrate this story, we will add to a 7-panel polyptych image created by Cornerstone member Jon Bowling. Jon has created single line portraits of each character, compositionally curved like rings radiating to focus our attention on the central nativity; the ultimate moment of incarnation: God with us.
