General Notes

Note

Expanded Wall Label: From "A Great Cloud of Witnesses" series. We are reminded of and blessed by the lives f all those who have come before us and tell of God's wondrous works. The intent of the art is to interpret the essential character of each person by texture, color and design through diverse fabrics gatherred from around the world. "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." (Hebrews 12:1)
