Art: Psalm 23 by John Swanson, 2010
JOHN SWANSON makes his home in Los Angeles, California, where he was born in 1938.

His art reflects the strong heritage of storytelling he inherited from his Mexican mother and Swedish father. John Swanson’s narrative is direct and easily understood. He addresses himself to human values, cultural roots, and his quest for self-discovery through visual images. These include Bible stories and social celebrations such as attending the circus, the concert, and the opera. He also tells of everyday existence, of city and country walks, of visits to the library, the train station or the schoolroom. All his parables optimistically embrace life and one’s spiritual transformation.

PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen

HYMN

BENEDICTION
We go nowhere by accident. Wherever we go,
God is sending us.
Wherever we are,
God has put us there.
God has a purpose in our being there.
Christ who dwells in us has something He wants to do through us,
where we are…right now!
Believe this and go in the grace and love and power of the
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
