In this session we will be joined by church leaders who have well-established programs and those who have just begun organizing a visual arts ministry. Hear how these ministries have come to be a catalyst for outreach, a way of enriching the congregation's preparation for worship, a building block of their educational ministries, and a unique way of encouraging intergenerational fellowship.

Presented at the 2008 Calvin Symposium on Worship.
