River and Tides: Working with Time

Tuesday, January 26, 7 p.m., in the Parish Hall, 12 W. 11th Street

Between the celebration of Christmas, when many go all out with parties, revelry and the giving of gifts, and Lent, when we take our hair-shirts to the dry-cleaner, place tacks in our shoes and earnestly repent our sins, sits the odd season of Epiphany.

This is the season of "revealing" or "manifestation" when Jesus’ identity — his life’s work and purpose — becomes clearer to the disciples (and to us). Epiphanic moments usually happen all at once. These are "Aha!" moments where the quotidian is revealed to have extraordinary depth and beauty. To assist us in our epiphanic musings, we will watch a film documenting the creative process of the renowned contemporary artist Andy Goldsworthy. Mr. Goldsworthy utilizes natural elements: ice, clay, cast off branches, to craft works that draw the mind to the extraordinary processes of nature and the ephemeral beauty of our world.

Popcorn and drinks provided. Discussion will follow if people want to talk about it.
