Throughout Advent this blog will reprint the devotionals from Advent Inspirations, a wonderful booklet featuring personal devotions and artwork by the congregation of Imperial United Methodist Church. Today we start with the introduction which also features artwork by Anna Bauerle.
Faith, marker and colored pencil on paper
For a color assignment in high school art, Anna illustrated a favorite Bible verse, using a triadic color scheme: “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Hebrews 11:6This Advent devotional began with the simple desire to share personal faith and memories. It grew from the thought of gathering the Advent and Christmas memories of several people spanning many years and life experiences. It grew to include the original art of local artists and the people who did the proof reading, adding the special touches to the pages, and the final layout. The idea grew even more. In memory of those with whom Advent and Christmas have been shared, this publication is funded by the generosity of many people in honor of family members and friends. It is the prayer of the congregation of First United Methodist Church, Imperial, Nebraska, this devotional will be a source of blessing for you this Advent and Christmas season and for seasons to come. A blessed Thanksgiving, Advent and Christmas to you.
