Creative Lent Project: ‘A Beautiful Thing’

You are invited to prayerfully and creatively reflect on the story of the woman anointing Jesus in Mark 14:1-11. In 14:6 Jesus says of the woman that: "she has done a beautiful thing to me".

Your response can be in any medium — poetry, music, sculpture, painting, photography, drawing, textiles, collage, beading — anything you can imagine!

We will primarily be using Mark's narrative but you might also want to reflect on similar narratives in Matthew 26:6-13, John 12:1-11 and Luke 7:36-50. The project is open to all ages and abilities and will help us as we journey through Lent together. 

We will enjoy one another’s work at a special exhibition on Palm Sunday, 13 April, at St Mary’s from 3-5pm.

NB: any pieces submitted must be suitable for general viewing by all ages.
