A sad loss to the Christian Art World
We were very sorry to learn of the passing of Christian artist Jenny Hawke , friend of LWPT and much-valued contributor to Preach Magazine .
Only last month Jenny was keen to be our Ichthus interviewee despite knowing she had little time left . Jenny was an inspiration to many congregations and churches across the UK , where she taught how to use art to spread God ’ s Word and illustrate her faith . We thank Jenny for her contribution to Preach over the years . She will be sadly missed .
Please join us in prayer for Jenny ’ s family at this difficult time . You can read Jenny ’ s interview at lwpt . org . uk / ichthus
In the current issue of Preach
Preach issue 37 is on the powerful theme of Encountering Jesus . What compelling encounters with Jesus are there , both in scripture and in today ’ s context ? How do we effectively preach Jesus and in what way does he change his people ? How can we , individually and corporately , communicate Jesus to a sceptical yet curious world ?
We ’ d love to hear your feedback on Preach magazine , please email editor @ lwpt . org . uk
Coming up in Preach 38 …
Jenny Hawke
The spring issue of Preach magazine looks at the hidden treasures of the Minor Prophets . Maybe it ’ s the description as minor that causes readers to neglect their existence , or perhaps it is because they are rarely preached on . But what do these books have to say to us today ? We ’ ll unearth some of the treasures held in these sacred books , from justice to leadership and the very character of God and his promises .
If you ’ d like to contribute , or know of a church initiative we could highlight , please email editor @ lwpt . org . uk .
LWPT Vision Day
Last month LWPT staff and trustees met in Ruislip , West London , for their annual Vision Day . It was the first time we had all been able to attend since the pandemic .
We reviewed the progress of the past year and discussed opportunities and plans for the years ahead . We left with a long list of tasks to accomplish and grateful for the chance to catch up in person once again .
