July-August Exhibit: The Grand Canyon Exposed
Seven CPC members have submitted photographs for this exhibit. While all of the photographers and are not known primarily as photographers. The “Canyon” has a way of making photographers of all who experience it. Our photographers are: Jim Aaron, who decided to test the Colorado River in a large, catered, professionally guided motorized raft after experiencing a “Never Again” seven-day unguided float trip in Alaska. Jim says “The Grand Canyon offers from any angle, time of day or bend of the river an awe-inspiring view of nature; Len Tozier and Karen Gray fulfilled a lifelong goal as the father-daughter team backpacked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon (and back out) in April 2009. Although they agree that the trip is on their Top Five list of the hardest things they’ve ever done, the grandeur of the canyon, the company and knowledge of their guide and fellow travelers, and the joy of shared time together on this life-changing journey made it well worth the aching muscles and blistered heels; Phil Mishler and his wife Jimmi, have taken at least three trips that included the Grand Canyon, usually from the rim. The most recent and most unusual visit was with an Elderhostel program that took them through the Hualapai Indian reservation (with permission, of course) to the Colorado River and had lunch on the bank while looking up the canyon walls; Dave Segur, since his early years, has looked for and experienced challenging adventures, including down to the Colorado River and back up using the Bright Angel Trail in the Grand Canyon. “To be included in the Colorado River Trip of 2006 at age 79 was an " adventure of a lifetime;" Garrett Torgerson took an opportunity to raft the Grand Canyon with his dad. In retrospect, the trip ended up being so much more. With incredible scenery, thrilling rapids, and wonderful camaraderie, the experience was so rich and absorbing that all of us on that trip spoke of taking about a week to re-acclimate to our regular lives after it was over; and Darrell Torgerson, who says, "Show me a dad that would not want to go rafting through the Grand Canyon with his son and I will show you a person just a little more cautious than I. My wonderful memories of the raft trip come in sentence … Grand Canyon ... segments: 40 degree river water…90 degree days…lacy Tamarisk trees…water-carved grottos…hearing the roar of a rapid around the next bend one-half mile away…star-lit night sky silhouetted between vertical dark canyon walls… fun paddling through splashing rapids in a “rubber ducky” kayak with Garrett…and on and on.
Below are a few examples of the picture art you will see in the Gathering Place.Some of the photographers will be available to meet with on the Second Saturday showing on July 10 from 4:00 to 6:00
Recently, while preparing for an artist’s reception, the Art Committee
suffered the loss of a treasured and important member of our team with the
death of Russ Franson. One of the original five members of the group, he
was a talented photographer and among other things was responsible for establishing
the standards of excellence and precision for mounting our gallery
shows. We will miss his photographs, his ideas, his skills and his friendship.

Worship Banners: I am the Vine - Ye Are the Branches
In September, 2004, a simple request blossomed into two spectacular quilt banners for hanging in the Sanctuary during the "Ordinary Time" liturgical season. Fifteen women began working on the design and making the leaves. The spectacular results are shown below.
