As someone who values highly creativity I love it when churches and faith communities value it as well and incorporate it into their community life. So when I found the "Poster Project" on their website I just had to share it. All of these posters were created (at first as paintings) by the staff artist Scott Erickson and they reflect the core values of Ecclesia.
These posters are on sale and all the proceeds go to the new building project that Ecclesia is working on at 1100 Elder. To learn more about the building project check out this video:

On to the posters:
1. "Together" poster
This poster represents the value of community.
"You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness."
Ephesians 4:22-24
2. "Rise" Poster
This poster represents the value of Resurrection.
“Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen!"
Luke 24:5
Luke 24:5
3. "Renew" Poster
This poster represents the value of Kingdom.
"Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven."
matthew 6:9-10
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven."
matthew 6:9-10
4."Naaman" Poster
This poster represents the value of obedience.
"Naaman’s servants went to him and said, “My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more, then, when he tells you, ‘Wash and be cleansed’!” So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had told him, and his flesh was restored and became clean like that of a young boy."
2 Kings 5:13-14
2 Kings 5:13-14
5. "Give" Poster
This poster represents the value of Hospitality.
"“Come, all you who are thirsty,
come to the waters;
and you who have no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without cost.
Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and you will delight in the richest of fare. "
Isaiah 55:1-2
come to the waters;
and you who have no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without cost.
Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and you will delight in the richest of fare. "
Isaiah 55:1-2
6. "Bless (orange)" poster
This poster represents the value of speech.
"Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts."
James 3:4-5
7. Alternative "Bless" poster
This poster represents the same value as the one above it.
These posters are quite reasonably priced and can be purchased here:
