Testimonies: Making Stuff with Mary's Song (Eric Chan, Nancy James, Cindy Chan, Michael Kim-Eubanks)

On Sunday, January 1st, we had various artists from our community share some of the creative pieces they worked on during the Advent season, inspired by and engaging with the Magnificat.  Eric Chan shared about his woodworking project, creating a two-sided spoon that is inspired by Mary's declaration: "He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty." Nancy James shared a poem in which she pictures Mary under a really black, night sky, and what the stars would have looked like to her.  Cindy Chan shared about an art piece she created, in which she reimagines the Magnificat, fusing the influences of Chinese brush painting and modern iconography while using markers. Finally, Pastor Michael shares an original song he wrote, which is a responsive dialogue to Mary in response to the Magnificat.  Hear about each piece through this audio, and check out our IG page (@bethelcommunitysl) to see some images capturing each work.
