Art House Dallas is a local nonprofit and one of our ministry partners that serves and supports hundreds of local artists – visual arts, music, and literary – each year through artist formation and outreach opportunities. 

One of the ways we are partnering with them is by hosting small groups as a part of their upcoming Origin series. Origin is comprised of a series of gatherings featuring speakers, presentations, and facilitated discussions. Each year a new theme is chosen as the focus of Origin, which the community walks through together. 

Origin will kick off at our Origin Opening Session on May 16th and small groups will meet 4 times together between May and September. The Closing Session is on September 19th. 

This year's theme is Embodiment as it relates to being a human with a body created in the image of God. We will explore the necessary tension and the interaction between the corporeal and incorporeal, or matter and immateriality. The reality of our bodies is core to what it truly means to be human. Central to the reality of the gospel of Christ is the Incarnate Word of God, who took on human flesh so that we could, in turn, be reconciled to God in relationship.

The incarnation of Christ calls us to know ourselves as embodied beings with the full faculties of emotion, reason, intellect, and imagination, all of which work themselves out in our bodies as we live, work, create, and communicate with each other.
