A little bit about artist- Sally Beck.

"For twenty-five years I had the blessing
of working for 

Creative Communications for the Parish

 (St. Louis) as art director and illustrator. 

I can't imagine a better career—

one in which I used my art
 to express my faith.

 Creative Communications

 publishes worship and devotional materials

 for adults and children

 with an emphasis on the Church Year seasons

 of Lent/Easter and Advent/Christmas. 

One of my many assignments 

was to create yearly collections

 of black and white

 spot illustrations based on the lectionary.

 These illustrations were ones that pastors

 and church secretaries could use as 

worship folder covers or inside illustrations.

 My task was to read the Sunday lessons, 

recognize the theme 

of each week's Old Testament, 

Gospel, epistle and Psalm readings, 

and create a piece of art to fit.

A little calligraphy, a little drawing—

and always with the Holy Spirit

 leading the way. 

The art that appears in the posts 

of the Visual Faith groups

 is the result of those assignments."

We are thankful for the blessing
 of this creative pairing of gifts.
