Welcome to Skyline Community Church’s first annual community art show!  It is so appropriate in so many ways that Skyline created this event — bringing together community — and art, as we know, is a window to the soul…

We commend the artists who participated in this special show, revealing more of themselves to us and the public, and further uplifting and enhancing our sanctuary with their beautiful work. Our artists in this show are quite diverse — ranging from a college student’s usage of recycled materials; an architect; a photographer who is also an ordained minister; to teachers and healthcare providers who are also artists.

Please enjoy this collection of photos (taken by Chris Nelson) of those in attendance at our opening reception, which was held on a beautiful afternoon Saturday, February 6th.

Warm Regards,
Reverend Laurie Manning

Wednesday, February 17th

7 pm

Ash Wednesday will be marked with a powerful multimedia service of healing and repentance for the journey through Lent.

The service will be led by seminarian Beth Rogers, asking us to reflect and take a moment to pause in our busy lives, seeking our way in the wilderness. Music, candlelight, reflections, and the imposition of ashes will all be part of the evening.

Lenten Reflection Series:
From Darkness to Light

WED Evenings, 6-8 PM, 2/24 – 3/24

Reclaiming the ancient religious practices of music, candlelight, meditation, mind/body prayer, and chant, we invite you to a special series of services each Wednesday throughout Lent. Join us for a special evening of the above practices, along with walking the labyrinth, followed by a potluck meal.

Please bring a pair of socks to wear for our indoor mind/body prayer. All are welcome; flexible if you miss a week.

This event is open to the community at large, so please invite friends!

The labyrinth is regarded as a metaphor for life. It is a contemplative walk, requiring no previous knowledge, skill, or experience. Facilitators will be present during the Lenten series, “From Darkness to Light,” if you have questions or concerns, or simply want to share your experience. Many find this a way to relieve stress, pray, be open, connect with God, and/or their own deepest core.

This is a new way to experience your own journey, no matter where you are. Welcome!
