Testimonies: Making Stuff with Mary's Song (Eric Chan, Nancy James, Cindy Chan, Michael Kim-Eubanks)

On Sunday, January 1st, we had various artists from our community
share some of the creative pieces they worked on during the
Advent season, inspired by and engaging with the
Magnificat. 


Eric Chan shared about his woodworking project, creating a
two-sided spoon that is inspired by Mary's declaration: "He has
filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away
empty." Nancy James shared a poem in which she pictures Mary
under a really black, night sky, and what the stars would have
looked like to her.  Cindy Chan shared about an art piece
she created, in which she reimagines the Magnificat, fusing the
influences of Chinese brush painting and modern iconography while
using markers. Finally, Pastor Michael shares an original song he
wrote, which is a responsive dialogue to Mary in response to the
Magnificat.
