Rostered ministers of the synod are invited to gather for a meaningful worship service with the renewal of vocation and Holy Communion. Bishop Patricia Lull will preach. Following fellowship and refreshments, we will hear from Peg Carlson-Hoffman and Chuck Hoffman, who create space for community, spirituality and social change through their art and workshops.
Chuck and Peg are former executive directors of Holden Village in Washington State. Peg is a painter, lettering artist and designer and formerly served as creative director and product developer for Hallmark Cards. Chuck is a painter and designer, formerly employed as a creative director for the Walt Disney Company. He received the Art & Innovation Fellowship and the St Paul Interfaith Scholarship Award from Luther Seminary, where he completed his M.A. in art and theology.
We live our lives as an artistic practice. For us, creating is an act of survival. The real work of being an artist is a way of being in the world and we tend to think of our art as the harvest of the lives we are living. We feel destined to paint, but more so, we paint to help bring reconciliation and peace into the world. – Chuck & Peg
