Hearts on Fire and The Secret Chord

Peter Banks and I will shortly be speaking on some of the themes from The Secret Chord at this year's ArtServe's Festival weekend.

Finding inspirational ways of telling God’s story shaped the Bible and the Christian faith. It shapes the Hearts on Fire! weekend too through the sharing of vision and experiences through contrasting and innovative media – story telling, music, drama and art.

Hearts on Fire! festival weekend is inspired by the power of story – our stories shared, God’s story lived. Stories are told not in words alone, but in music, drama, and prayer.

Sharing inspirational stories can reveal God alive and present among us, speaking through our actions and lives. Telling stories is not just about words, but all forms of media; we will be exploring all sorts – word, song, touch, movement, painting, animation, looking and listening.

ArtServe aims to show how we can tell stories in so many ways if we have the confidence to try. As a community of faith we will be called on to try our hand at story telling, making music, and creating visual effects. There will be time to consider the significance of bringing the arts and faith together, thinking about what we do, praying and celebrating together, as well as enjoying a shared life as an ArtServe community.
