Generating Hope
August 30, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Online and in-person
Pip Paris
This experiential worship service is an experiential exploration of ways to generate hope through imagination and creativity, and includes a meditation and creative project. In the sanctuary, art supplies will be provided; if you are at home, you might want to prepare drawing or collage supplies, or a pen and paper will also do quite well.
We will Share the Plate with the Rockford Area Art Council The Rockford Area Arts Council was established in 1969 as a four-county umbrella arts organization. The Arts Council provides Winnebago, Boone, Ogle, and DeKalb Counties with organizational resources, collective advocacy efforts, and critical arts and cultural resources for our communities, with a special focus on our disadvantaged and underserved populations. The Arts Council exists to support, promote, and develop access to the arts for everyone. We achieve this goal by funding artists and arts organizations that oversee programs for under-served communities; supporting arts education and programming; developing collaborative relationships with the City of Rockford, the Rockford Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, Transform Rockford, R1 Regional Planning Council, the Rockford Park District and Rockford Public Library, regional school districts—both public and private; overseeing events that showcase local talent; and advocating for the arts at the local, state, and federal level.
