There Is A Season- A Limited Edition Book



The Reckoning International began its history by redeeming 150 slaves among the Tharu in Nepal and providing them with opportunities to create a livelihood. Today, the faith based organization is working in Kenya, Uganda, Burundi, Dominican Republic, Ukraine and Nepal.

During Trinity's Fall Camp, a representative from The Reckoning presented a challenge to the Huddle groups-

Use your creativity and ingenuity to increase $100.00
within a span of three months.

My Huddle group's solution: a hand-made, limited edition book. Every image has been hand-printed, every book has been hand-sewn. After our pre-sale initiative, there are only 30 copies available. The price is only $20.00 with 100% of the proceeds going to The Reckoning International. And, if you are ordering from out of town I will personally pay the postage. By purchasing this book you become a part of something that is bringing hope to people in desperate need. For more information regarding The Reckoning International click here.

Our three month deadline is upon us.

You have an amazing opportunity to obtain this handmade book but you must place your order, with payment, by December 1. The books will be available in the office (or mail) by December 14, making a beautiful Christmas gift for the person who has everything.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. My email is mcarter@trinityprep.com.

Walking in Pollock's Shoes




Jackson Pollock's Shoes



"Abstract painting is abstract. It confronts you. There was a reviewer a while back who wrote that my pictures didn't have any beginning or any end. He didn't mean it as a compliment, but it was."                                                    Jackson Pollock 1912-1956



Jackson Pollock, this week's featured artist in our lecture series, thought, and painted, 'outside the box'. Teenager are famous for this notion. And that can be very good.

We just ended 3rd Quarter, and the end is about finishing... (see previous post). 

Here are a few pieces from the students:
