LCMS Worship Institute: Visual Art and Graphic Design in Service to the Church

How do visual art and graphic design serve the church and ministry of the Word? April Parviz, Graphic Designer and Visual Artist, joins Andy and Sarah from the 2024 Institute on Liturgy, Preaching, and Church Music to talk about her life as a graphic designer and visual artist, how excellence plays a role in creative arts, how her art is a reflection of who she is and what she believes, and her current series “Sleepers Awake.” Learn more about April and her work at aprilparviz.art. Learn more about Intersect Arts at intersectstl.org and the Holy Cross Lutheran feast service holycrossstl.org/feast.  Learn more about our Lutheran understanding of worship at https://www.lcms.org/worship. A follow-up note from April: "Just to be clear, any good that comes through our prayers or music or art comes from God, and only God. We are not the ones controlling or creating that good. He just allows us to carry  it sometimes, which is one of the most lovely gifts, I think."
