Women's Fall Field Trip to the Art Museum!
Join us for this fun, fall field trip to the Philadelphia Art Museum to see the current exhibit, Rembrandt and the Face of Jesus. This exhibition reunites, for the first time since 1656, seven paintings of Jesus by Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn. Abandoning traditional sources, Rembrandt created these exceedingly rare portraits of Christ with the use of a human model--a step which was totally unprecedented at the time. In viewing them today, visitors are presented with a number of religious, historic, and artistic questions to ponder. Fill out the registration form below to reserve your spot on the trip!
Women of all ages are welcome! We will gather in the narthex at noon and travel via school bus leaving Hopewell by 12:15pm. The cost of this event is $30 per person and includes admission to the museum and a boxed lunch to enjoy on the ride there. Scholarships are available, contact Shauna Ridge at shauna@hopewellumc.org for more information. Register on-line or next weekend in the Family Life Center.
