The Bible Story Walk, a travelling outdoor art installation, has been making its way across church lawns for the past two years, sharing the Creation Story through vibrant illustrated panels.
This unique initiative was designed to engage neighbours who pass by or visit church grounds — offering them a moment of wonder, reflection, and connection with the host church.
This creative outreach has proven to be a powerful way to build community while sparking curiosity and conversation. Many churches that hosted the installation have shared enthusiastic feedback, noting how it has opened new doors for connection with local families and individuals.
This year, we are excited to unveil a new chapter: The Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9 – 13).
This beloved and familiar passage invites people of all ages to pause, reflect, and perhaps recall cherished memories of faith and prayer. Our hope is that children and families, in particualr, will see themselves in this story – encouraged by its message and inspired by its presentation.
To bring this new edition to life, we sought the voices and creativity of young people across the Diocese. Through collaborative workshops and open invitations, children and youth offered their insights, questions and artistic expressions. Their contributions helped shape the visual narrative of this year’s walk, adding colour, dimension, imagination and authenticity.
A highlight of this process was the Diocesan Family Workshop, where participants explored The lord’s Prayer through a variety of artistic mediums, including pastel, watercolour, collage, charcoal, and ink. (for pictures, see page 5) These creative responses enriched the project and deepened our shared understanding of the text.
We are delighted to announce that the new Bible Story Walk will be in circulation from June through October, beginning with a launch event at St. James the Apostle (19 Maple, Stanbridge East). We warmly invite you to come, experience the story and share your thoughts. Your feedback helps us continue growing this ministry of presence, creativity, and community.
