Tom Stahl's Noah's Ark Mural for Summer Funday School

Wekiva member Tom Stahl is leading a group of budding artist in creating a mural in the Link Building of the church. Above is a photo of the work in progress.  You can see a more detailed view below, with some very creative views of the building of the Ark as well as the Ark on the waters and then coming to rest on dry land. 

Above is Tom's conceptual sketch, pinned alongside the angel border he painted.  Below are several details up close, including the signatures of the artists who helped this past Sunday.  More painting will occur during the Sunday School hour, on the next several Sundays. 

I particularly love all of the signatures (don't you?).  And of course the one that makes me smile the most is "Noah".  Of course Noah made the mural of the Ark. After all, he made the Ark itself!  How fun is that?

One of the things we can teach one another in the company of believers called The Church is that we all have something to contribute to the well-being of the body.  Tom Stahl has been contributing his unerring design sense and artistic genius for us for decades--hallelujah!  And the painterly assistants who are making the mural with him are also learning and demonstrating that they have gifts to share, not some far off day in the future, but right now. 

It really is "Funday" when we come to Sunday School.

One of the best things we can teach the youngest among us is the joy of this truth: They can give something to God that will make God happy.

That is a life-long lesson to be savored.
