As disciples of Christ, we must cultivate the rhythms, attitudes, and disciplines that align our hearts with the pulse of God’s story. As his children, we must celebrate the work that He has done and give thanks for everything, and often. And as created beings, we must create. We create to process, we create to share, we create to worship. We create so that what is known can be deeply integrated into our souls and throughout our lives. We create because we are created in the image of our Creator.
These original characters were created for our Kids Prayer Book, written by Laurèn Heffner and Illustrated by Allisah Solorio. To request your own copy of the book email lauren@redeemerhd.com.
Also within that book, you will find Allisah’s visual representation of the Biblical story arch. This one shown above is the moment of creation.
This beautiful little lamb was created by Allisah Solorio as part of our Advent 2017.
This beautiful piece was created by Ashley Soto for our Advent 2018 series at Redeemer Church.
Each week of the Advent series represents a different part of the Messianic Prophesy in Isaiah 9. Ashley’s job as the artist was to visually represent each part of the prophecy.

You make it rain, you part the waves–my God–creation’s reigning King.
your soldiers in my battle, your glory in my enemy’s defeat.
At your word, rivers become walls, my fixed path into promised territory.
You create. You defy. You are my everything.
You are the only endless sea.

The earth obeys his touch.
