Community prayer offerings of lament

Psalm 8
Melanie A. VanderWal
Calvin College LOFT Chapel, Grand Rapids, Michigan

Painting is paper on canvas with mod-podge, latex and acrylic paint.

Psalm 8 incorporates laments written by the LOFT community on Sunday, September 25, 2005. Amongst a grouping of lament psalms, Psalm 8 stands out declaring words of praise. The image painted on the written laments reflects upon the words of hope spoken in the sermon by Rev. Mary Hulst. The painting was hung in the chapel for a Psalm Festival held on October 15, 2005.

Calligraphy by Jan Roeda Delavan, Wisconsin

Word-pictures can be created by all ages. Writing and rewriting a word can help focus our attention and allow us to dwell more deeply on the meaning the words express.
