You may ask, “What is illuminated Bible journaling?” A week ago, we would have said it’s a way of responding to God’s Word graphically. That’s kind of a lame explanation.
Someone asked if it meant doodling in your Bible. That’s not right either.
If you Google “Jann Gray,” or view some of her videos on YouTube, you’ll get a clearer picture of what the graphical outcome of illuminated journaling can be. Prepare to have your breath taken away. Jann’s illustrations are magnificent, (although she would be the first to tell you that no one needs to worry that they don’t have an inner Michelangelo to channel).
But the tangible product, these lovely graphics in your journal or your Bible, is not quite what illuminated Bible journaling is about, either.
The real purpose behind Jann Gray’s Illuminated Journaling book and workshop is to challenge Christ Followers to stretch the boundaries of how they have typically studied God’s Word so they might experience a deeper, richer and more personal relationship with God.
We think that’s an excellent reason to get together on a Tuesday evening with some of our friends. We hope YOU will bring a friend or two and come. There is a $15 fee for the workshop that covers the use of supplies that night. You can register online and pay by credit card, or you can contact the PCBC Library to sign up and pay by cash or check at the door. elmartin@pcbc.org or 214-860-3993.
This workshop started as a social event for our Faithfully Yours collaboration with Concord Baptist Church. We want everyone to join the fun, so invite your friends and plan on a splendid evening of responding to God’s Word.
