Through this project, participants add to a WonderPod in worship each week and build a take home treasure chest that will remind, reinforce, and encourage further discoveries! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional visual art pieces for congregational worship will also be created. Opening God\u2019s story is being piloted by <a href=\"https:\/\/immanuelrockfalls.org\/\"><strong>Immanuel Lutheran Church<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>and Pastor Bree Truax in Rock Falls, Illinois. Vonda Drees has served as artistic collaborator for this project. A congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Immanuel Lutheran is a congregation that gathers as the people of Christ, serving with love, faith, and hope. Opening God\u2019s Story materials materials will be available to all participants in the<a href=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/cwta\/\"> Conference on Worship, Theology, and the Arts.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper-container\"><ul
