| Tiley Frost's "Wait on God" is being prepared for completion. It shows a journey. |
|
| The journey of a person searching for meaning in life. The purple under layer
began in December. |
|
| One of Hillside's teenagers studies during the Easter season "Wait on God" and
wonders how it will continue. |
|
| On Pentecost, Tiley continues her painting during our morning worship. |
|
| The Hillside Worship Band begins to play, Tiley
adds layers of color, tone, and feeling to the painting. |
|
| Tiley's basket of brushes and paints are close by as she puts very specific detail
to the end of the road's journey. |
|
| Tiley takes a moment to lift her hands in praise to the Lord of her heart and
her work. |
|
| The band completes a song and Pastor Mark shares the beginnings of "Wait on God". |
|
| The music continues, the worshipers sing their praises while watching colors
and shades being added. |
|
| Tiley's details are not yet seen by the worshipers but they are able to sense
the Spirit's leading with each brush stroke. |
|
| Purple tones from the first painting can still be seen in the figures on the
pathway. |
|
| Tiley takes a moment to pray and privately worship. The pathway encounter with
Christ and the joining of saints can clearly be seen. |
|
| Shades of browns, rusts, greens are blended as Tiley prepares for the next step.
Pastor Mark teaches the worshippers about God's gift of the Holy
Spirit. |
|
| Streaks of brilliant white are coming from the group of believers joined together. |
|
| "Wait on God" reveals the Holy Spirit's light shining, streaking, and coming
to the earth. |
|
| God's love come to the world on Pentecost also comes to each believer. Waiting
on God's Spirit brings Light into each believers heart. |
|
| As Tiley continues to add streaks of Light, Pastor invites worshipers to come
and receive prayer for the Spirit's action in their lives. |
|
| Prayer inspired from the psalmist, "Cast me not from thy presence...Renew a right
spirit within me". |
|
| Many come as they are inspired by song and painting and the Word of God seeking
God's Spirit and presence. |
|
| Tiley adds her unique details to her inspired piece as she sings praise. |
|
| The artist steps back and reflects on "Wait on God", the journey of a believer. |
|
| Worship and the painting draw to a close. Onlookers begin to take a full look
at the piece. |
|
| The beginning of the journey reveals a woman on her knees. |
|
| Through the turns on the pathway the woman encounters grace through the cross
of Christ. |
|
| Believers enjoy the gift of Light and Unity through the Holy Spirit. |
|
| Where are you on your journey? |
|
| Putting finishing touches on her piece, Tiley has given Hillside a Spirit-filled
gift of love. |
|
| Tiley begins to sign her piece. |
|
|
| The artist poses beside her piece of work. |
|
| Pentecost is told in the second chapter of the Book of Acts. |
|
| What do you see for yourself in this piece of God's work? |
|
| Tiley shares with fellow worshipers her thoughts on completing the piece. |
|
| A good friend comes to chat with Tiley about her gift of art. |
|
| A young admirer asks Tiley questions about her painting. Tiley asks, 'What do
you see?' |
|
| A three year old brother shares his admiration too and Tiley invites his thoughts. |
|
| The majestic mountains near the pathway--what might they represent? |
|
Imagine experiencing the power of God's Spirit!
