Bringing Communion to Life with Creativity

Plus, 5 things worth sharing this week.

Hey Crashers,

We have had a week of play! We took our own post last week to heart and decided to think differently about work. And it worked (pun intended). But today, the Rhino Journals explore creativity and sacred spaces. We look at re-storying faith through artistic expressions, and hopefully, it will challenge you to rethink how you engage in your church community. Let us know what this sparks in you and your team.

Grace and Peace,

Cass & Rich

BOOK: NOVEL PREACHING - We’re currently reading this book on preaching, and it’s brilliant. It is worth checking out if you preach or ever intend to - especially good for us creatives! (LINK)

MESSAGE: DARRELL JOHNSON ON COMMUNION - If you’ve been following us on the Rhino for any time, you’ll know Darrell Johnson is one of our go-to preachers and teachers. This message on communion won’t disappoint. (LINK)

SHOP: WELL VERSED HOMES - Our friend Jo owns this store. She creates beautiful spaces and has all the accessories at her store to help you do the same. (LINK)

MUSIC: STILL BY MICHAELI - When it comes to beautiful instrumental music, Michaeli knows what she’s doing! Check out her version of ‘Still.’ It’s uplifting and calming at the same time. (LINK)

ANTHEM: A GREAT AWAKENING BY ALEXANDER PAPPAS - We hope you’re already listening to this song and leading it in worship at your Church, but if not, here you go! It’s an anthem to shout, sing and pray. (LINK)

Question of the week…

Bringing Communion to Life with Creativity

Tonight, we sat at the Bathers Pavillion and shared a meal with friends we have known for at least 20 years. There was easy conversation, good food, beautiful lighting, and loads of laughter. 

There's something magical about sharing a meal, isn't there? 

Whether it's a simple coffee and catch-up, a birthday celebration, a wedding feast, a casual dinner with friends, or even a late-night run to Maccas, meals bring us together in a way few other things can. They're a cornerstone of community and connection and fuel more than just our bodies—they nourish our souls.

For most creatives, as we work out our call and help bring the story of faith alive, we feel called to help people imagine their way into the story, to pull up a chair at the table, and feast on truth, hope, and goodness. Don't we?
