This collage contains Lenten displays (featured in A Mosaic of Lenten Art) now transformed with new life on Resurrection Sunday! Here we see the Potter Studio in bloom (Bethany, VT); the cross of suffering with colorful fruits of the Spirit attached (Doylestown, PA); the dried bones springing to life (Methacton, PA); and the dessert landscape awash with flowing water, light, and new life (Souderton, PA).

For the Lenten and Easter seasons, Salford Mennonite (PA) invited artist Mandy Martin to create a work inspired by the presence and activity of the Holy Spirit. The resulting four-panel acrylic captures the Spirit hovering over the dark, deep waters of creation, reminding worshipers that the Spirit hovers over us today, ready to breathe new life into chaos.
