Into the Fire

The Daniel Project was a three-month long community-wide interaction with the Book of Daniel from the bible. Each Sunday, the sermons would focus on a particular section of Daniel and Villagers were invited to interact and respond using writing, art, reading, and music. When we are invited to interact with scripture in ways that go beyond just the preaching of it on a Sunday, we are able to connect better with the text and with God personally.

This page showcases the creations and responses during this time.
