North Westminster Presbyterian Church is my current faith community in which I pastor and witness God's co-creative Spirit.

A Celtic Cross was processed from North Church to Westminster Church as the two churches merged. A new mission statement was developed through the Worship Renewal Grant Program from Lilly Endowment through Calvin Seminary in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

25' x 40' 2023 Pavilion A Dedication Worship Service for the Homeless Community was held under the New Pavilion with a Stone Communion Table. This was a Cooperative Building Project which included North Westminster Presbyterian Church, Advent House Ministries, the Habitat Humanity, and Volunteers from five other organizations.

Our Lenten journey prepares us for the redemptive death on the cross with Jesus. The members of the congregation pulled away individual fabric strands in this 8' x 4' black burlap in order to reveal the three crosses on Calvary.

As North & Westminster churches merged, a Communion Table combined with a Baptismal Font was created with 100% recycled wood by the new NWPC congregation. The fine wood work was sculpted by Tom Young.

A large ceramic Baptismal Font was inherited from a New Church Development church, which had to be closed after six years. Our Communion Table was designed to permanently embraced this Baptismal Font. Worshipers are invited to share the Prayer Stones during the Passing of the Peace.

In order to provide a flexible open central space for diverse worship experiences, the Transportable Pulpit and the Communion Table were designed to move easily within the Sanctuary.

Our Worship Ministry Team designed a new communion set with a local pastor/potter: the broken plate expresses the broken bread for the Broken Body of Jesus Christ.

Holt First Presbyterian Church requested visual liturgy to help guide their Lenten Prayer of whether they should go to two worship services.

Each Sunday different designs of the purple fabric behind the cross were added and the green fabric was introduced on Palm Sunday.

Holt Church members quilted together their prayer of hopes and concerns as a part of the visual liturgy to help discern whether they should go to two worship services.

The Purple Parament drapes behind the cross and over the Lord's Table to help bring unity to a divided congregation in Christ.

As the Pastors recite together "It is finished" the black cloth drops and cover the cross.

The cross appears through the opening of the empty tomb in the shape of The Thin Place as the congregation witness the Risen Lord!

The Lord's Table is set with rings of stones that ripple out from the baptismal font and the worshipers added the names of their ancestors as a way of remembering them.

A church in Marshall, Michigan, felt that their dark Gothic Revival Architecture no longer represented their current life of the congregation. Therefore, they created a series of Paraments for their Chancel to add color and images of the church members in worship.

The center piece was a 20' x 10' Parament, which depicted recognizable silhouettes of the church members during their memorable annual Christmas Caroling.

The two side panels showed two of the oldest members of the congregation in worship on Christmas Eve.

A Two Year Threshold Project was a cooperative work of Ecumenical artists designing a New entry into Sustaining Pastoral Excellence at St. Francis Retreat Center in Dewitt, Michigan. Two local artists were commissioned to create "Breath of God ~ Woven in Mystery" as the permanent installation which expresses Jesus calming the storm.

When I ask artists "Where is your sacred space?" they often respond "My studio space." What used to be a smoking room is now remodeled to be a 1,500 square feet of sacred space for many Artist-In-Residence and visitors at the Ecumenical Center for Arts and Spirituality at St. Francis Retreat Center.

During 1999 Ecumenical Art Conference, I had the privilege of being part of the four painters to design and paint on the Glass Windows of the conference building at the World Counsel of Churches in Bossey, Switzerland.

A Beautiful Retreat Center visited by the members of the Ecumenical Faith Community to see what is invisible to the naked eyes.

Summer Worship Institute Worship Service opens under the green grass. A communion table is prepared with the picnic table cover and a basket filled with seven loaves of bread in the Chapel of Princeton Seminary.

Under the green grass, the sacramental elements for the Eucharist are brought forward by the two liturgical dancers.

Under the green grass, a Baptismal Font is placed at the back of the sanctuary. Worshipers are invited to dip their hands in the water and take out a living stone from the Baptismal Bowl as they are blessed by the word "Beloved" over them in exiting the Chapel of Princeton Seminary.

The sounds of weeping fills the Chapel as the Liturgical Drama Team narrates the story of Ruth.

This worship service was lifted up and celebrated in the form of Wordless Liturgy - without any spoken or written words.

The sounds of three women's weeping behind the wooden screens, the heat lamps at the entrance, Musical Instruments, symbolic images, sacramental forms and silent movements of the liturgical drama team all came together to created a powerful worship experience for all worshipers.

No words were necessary for the Charge and the Benediction - all witnessed the pouring of the life giving water onto the dry stones in the Baptismal Font. Then, each worshiper dipped their hands and carried with them a living stone to share with the rest of the world.
