We are excited to invite you to explore a beautiful collection of eight paintings by retired Lutheran minister and abstract geometric artist Joel Nickel. These stunning works of art will be on display in our Chapel Narthex until Advent, offering a unique opportunity to engage with Old Testament passages often associated with the season of Lent.

Each painting is a visual narrative, inviting viewers to delve deeper into the stories they represent. Joel Nickel’s unique approach blends vibrant colors and geometric forms, encouraging a fresh interpretation of these sacred texts.

Throughout the display, we will provide special announcements where you can learn more about the stories behind the paintings and how the artist conveys these powerful themes.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our friends at St. James Lutheran for sharing this wonderful collection with us. Don’t miss this chance to experience art that inspires reflection and conversation.
