home… the laundry

November 21, 2005Cherylalt worship, blog, installations & spaceshome, sacred spaces, warrnambool

I bought out the $1 bargain bin at the op shop around the corner… I’ll donate them back again later this week… Dirty washing. We’ve all got it. Stuff we’ve done (or not done), thoughts we’ve had words we’ve said making everything muddy and grotty. Sometimes it feels like we’re walking through life all dressed…

home… the scrabble board

November 21, 2005Cherylalt worship, blog, installations & spaceshome, sacred spaces, warrnambool

This was another ‘one person at a time space’, just set up with a table, chair and scrabble board. John 1:35-39 was written out, and the following words: I wonder what Jesus’ house was like and what it would be like to just hang out with him for the rest of the day… (do you…

home… graffiti

November 21, 2005Cherylalt worship, blog, installations & spaceshome, sacred spaces, warrnambool

We had a change of idea at the last minute – instead of doing graffiti on a wall (with paints and canvas), we did it with pavement chalk on the footpath outside the church. i was quite stunned by the amount of energy and passion that went into this…

home… the bedroom

November 21, 2005Cherylalt worship, blog, installations & spaceshome, sacred spaces, warrnambool

This was one of the spaces designated for one person at a time. We set up a bed in the church office – just a mattress, doona, pillows – and covered it with a large piece of bedspread-like fabric. The music was different in this space – we played Urban Myth Club’s So Beautiful. What…

home… pictures on the wall

November 21, 2005Cheryl4 Commentsalt worship, blog, installations & spaceshome, sacred spaces, warrnambool, worship

The wall in the community space at the church is used as a kind of gallery space already, hanging works by artists within the congregation. We projected the following mosaic image, made up of pictures of refugees, onto the wall, so it became another of the pictures. The prayers were written on gold card and…

home… the living room

November 21, 2005Cherylalt worship, blog, installations & spaceshome, sacred spaces, warrnambool, worship

Armchairs, cushions, coffee table with lego, tv and vcr with episodes of The Wonder Years playing silently… Ever wondered why it’s your family that has to be the most uncool? or why the arguments you have in your home don’t get solved in 30 minutes (minus the ad breaks)? or when someone will make a…

Home… the feast

November 21, 2005Cherylalt worship, blog, installations & spaceshome, sacred spaces, warrnambool, worship

The table was set with bread and wine – we decided on that for the symbolism. The bread was on plates which had different feast stories from the Gospels written on them. Jesus ate with a lot of people… and he talked a lot about feasts. He dreamed of a day when everyone would know…

warrnambool worship wrap-up

November 21, 2005Cherylalt worship, blog, installations & spaceshome, sacred spaces, warrnambool

The worship was great – they were a really fun, interesting group of young people (which is no surprise, of course – most groups of young people are), and people from the church kept saying ‘yes’ whenever I asked ‘Can I…’. I’d change a couple of things – I’d add another ‘individual’ space. We had…

home… praying for those without one

November 17, 2005Cheryl3 Commentsalt worship, blog, installations & spaceshome, planning, sacred spaces, warrnambool

I’ve been playing with MacOSaix, a program i discovered through Jonny, and created a picture of a house, made up of images of refugees [note to self: after this weekend, work out how to link to external sites in wordpress…]. I’ll get it printed onto A0 size paper, stick it on the wall on Saturday…

dirty washing

November 16, 2005Cherylalt worship, blog, installations & spaceshome, planning, sacred spaces, warrnambool

(confession space… there’ll be a clothes line strung up, a dirty clothes basket, pegs, and a bowl of soapy water) dirty washing. we’ve all got it. stuff we’ve done (or not done), thoughts we’ve had words we’ve said making everything muddy and grotty. sometimes it feels like we’re walking through life all dressed up in…
