Icon Writing Workshop - February 15-19, 2010
Join Iconographer Teresa Harrison in a 5 day contemplative painting workshop.
Icons representing Christ, the Mother of God, the Saints and feast days are referred to as Windows to Heaven! This rich tradition gives us a visual image to aid in understanding God's divine word. This is a beginner course designed to introduce painting techniques in the Byzantine style of iconography, using acrylic paint and 23 ct. gold leaf. No art experience is required for this course. The icon of the Good Shepherd will be completed in a prayerful atmosphere which includes the Eucharist, Gregorian chant, praying with icons, silence, as well as lively group conversation.
All supplies and lunch will be provided.
Class hours: 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Class fee: $400.
Place: Christ Church, Coronado

Christian Formation Ministry
Christ Church has established the Christian Formation Ministry to shape and sustain our education programs. In the near-term, the ministry will focus on providing qualified, enthusiastic leaders for our child and youth education offerings. At the same time, we will be working to expand opporutnities for all of our church family to enrich their lives through Christian education. These opportunities exist within our parish, our diocese, and our community. Ministry members include Steve Crawford (chair), Lissy Rooney, Barbara DeMichele, Louise Cate, Alex de la Lama, Caleb French, Hester Held, Joanie Huck, and Phil Hunsaker (Vestry representative.) Feel free to provide any of the ministry members with your thoughts or desires on how we can deliver Christian Education in a forum that lifts your spirit!
