Phase 2 coming soon!


Here's one of the sketches for the Supper at Emmaus
which will be painted on the large gable over the Chapel entrance.

There were two disciples who heard the tomb of Jesus was found empty on the third day after Jesus' death. On their way to a town outside of Jerusalem called Emmaus they meet a stranger who gives them a Bible study on the prophecies about the Messiah. He makes a big impression on the two and they invite him to supper. When he breaks the bread "their eyes were opened" and they recognize him as the resurrected Jesus. Jesus immediately vanishes. With joy Cleopas and his friend head back to Jerusalem to carry the news to the other apostles.

Will we recognize him when he comes?
