“Healing Sand Paintings”
Series: The Gift of Grace 2
Scriptures: Isaiah 40:28-31; James 5:13-16
This Sunday, I invite you to join us for our All Ages Worship as we honor Indigenous American spiritual wisdom and celebrate our connections to all of creation. In my sermon, I’ll explore the healing traditions of sand paintings, revealing how these sacred art forms embody wholeness, community healing, and spiritual harmony—principles that resonate with our Christian understanding of God’s restorative love & grace. Our service features beautiful Indigenous hymns including the Dakota Sioux “Many and Great, O God” and an Osage hymn of offering, with our youth taking leadership roles throughout worship.
