Fourth quarter – the spiritual realm
12th October
For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways (Psalm 91:11)
The turn from OT to NT is well documented as being full of angels and these heavenly beings are well attested to in All Saints Church and will be part of our future too. Today we will be identifying angels and their roles by looking at the windows and tapestry, and choosing some to draw and sketch. Look for – messengers, worshippers, watchers, protectors, destroyers.
November (date tbc)
Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will (Psalm 103:21)
‘In the centre, round the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and behind. The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like and ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all round, even under its wings’ (Revelation 4:7-8).
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are often pictured with a matching spiritual animal. We can see this in the All Saints room and these remind us both of Daniel and Isaiah as well as the book of Revelation. They are depicted on both the windows here and on the pulpit. Find your favourite to sketch and draw - add other aspects if you want – eyes and wings abound! we will be adding these into the rouges gallery from February.
December (date tbc)
Praise the Lord, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word’ (Psalm 103:20)
Angles in the style of Kilmt – December is a time when we particularly remember angels and what better time to make a picture in the style of Kilmt – lots of shine and other worldliness as angels bring to us. Using your sketches or the pictures already produced now is your chance to make something shimmer.
