Tamworth Southside Uniting Church now proudly boasts a new three-metre artwork created by its own Faith in Art group.

The new painting was created to mark the Season of the Pentecost, otherwise known as the Season of the Holy Spirit or the birthday of the church.

Church Reverend Simon Hansford said the work had been admired by parishioners and he enjoyed the active expression of faith.

“For me it is – in the best sense – an act of faith,” he said.

“People are working out their faith and trying to show it in their artwork.

“It was great to watch them in the process, not just painting but also thinking and conversing while working on it.”
