A couple weeks back we asked you to Show Us Your Artwork. It’s a continuation of our ‘Show Us Your ____’ series and a fun way to see what’s happening at your church. Despite piles of religious art from stained glass to sculptures of Jesus, it was a bit surprising (in a good way) to see so many contemporary examples of church artwork.
A series of 5’x7′ paintings that were created during the sermon to illustrate the series on change. Now the paintings are hanging in the youth center.
The potential future home of Kerusso Grace Church near downtown Houston.
The Rock in West Virginia shared a number of pictures of their artsy space (including bathroom art), as well as this painting created with leftover construction materials.
International Family Church in North Reading, Mass., has art installations that match their current theme.
Christ Worship Center in Laredo, Texas, brings in a Mariachi band to serenade moms on Mother’s Day. Cultural arts work, too!
A collection of message series graphics displayed in the church’s main hallway and intended to remind people when they started attending and help them reflect on their spiritual progress.
Jesus sculpture outside a church in Virginia Beach.
One of nine stained glass windows depicting biblical characters at Messiah Episcopal Church in St. Paul, Minn.
Does your church display any artwork? Share in the comments below.

We used black and white photos printed on stretched canvas to highlight our missionaries. here are some pictures. http://goo.gl/Ov39Z
It made a big difference in the look and feel of our back table area.

We used http://www.WickedCheapPrinting.com for the canvases and then we stretched them ourselves, it saved us shipping.

Installed posters of word cloud images of several books of the Bible in the classroom area of my home church in New Haven, IN. The posters are from http://www.66clouds.com. Photos of the installation can be viewed at the following link:
