Mandala

Thank you to everyone who contributed to coloring the Mandala during the Lenten season! We were able to find a temporary location for it in the entrance by the Church Office (awning entrance), so if you haven’t had a chance to see it please walk that way when you’re in the church building!

The mandala was originally introduced by Meredith Menius, Director of Connecting and Discipleship Ministries, at Hyde Park Community UMC’s Lenten Jazz Vespers service on Wednesday, March 8, 2023. Through the music provided by the leadership of Paul Owen and the artistic talent of Sarah Knapton, Congregational Care and Funeral Coordinator, to create the mandala outline, we were able to collectively create this artwork together. This mandala represents the contemplative nature of Lent, and how we all bring our own life experiences to make the world beautiful.
