| The Youth Art Team began a spring Urban Gallery project yesterday with a trip to Des Moines to learn about Public Art! |
 |
| Thanks to David for giving his Saturday to lead us through the Historical Museum and help us to consider aspects of creating public art for our community. |
 |
| The team stood in front of CARE, a trash receptacle that shares a message with the 6th Ave. Corridor Neighborhood. |
 |
| An artist in the 6th Ave. Corridor Neighborhood encouraged the Youth Art Team to keep lifting their voices and sharing their ideas with our community. |
 |
| We came home from Des Moines and met today for our first big learning and planning session. Thanks to the Behrends Family for making team snacks and decorating them with awesome Scripture and pictures! |
 |
| Heidi reminded the team what an urban gallery installation is all about. |
 |
| Waterloo Historians, Bob Neymeyer and Annette Freeseman, led a tour through downtown Waterloo, sharing many interesting stories and pictures from the past. |
 |
| After the downtown tour, four lifetime residents shared about their memories of Downtown. They talked of going to the movies, shopping, and what life was like before cell phones. They also spoke of the power of love to overcome adversity in life, how love can change even the hardest of hearts, and how love can overcome segregation and bring people together. |
 |
| Students recapped the day through sketches, lists, and sharing what stories and details had stuck with them from the tour and interviews. |
 |
| Our guests joined us in our closing prayer circle and Youth Art Team cheer. Can't wait to see what God will inspire and create through this team, as they bring a message of hope and beauty to Downtown Waterloo. Praying that it all points to the one who redeems and reconciles all things- Jesus! www.youthartteam.com www.facebook.com/youthartteam www.linkccd.org |
