Fay, Gustav, Hannah, Ike and Jeri

Poor Haiti! Probably the poorest country in our hemisphere and it's been hit by some bad hurricanes this late summer. And now Jeri. Oh, she's not a hurricane. She's Jeri Platt, a Columbus Methodist who has been on many mission trips to Haiti, and she's a fabulous watercolor artist. The Visual Arts Ministry hung a show of her wonderful paintings of the Haitian people at the Church at Mill Run, 3500 Mill Run Drive, Hilliard, OH 43026. There will be a reception for the artist next Sunday afternoon, 2-4 p.m. The show is on the second floor in the main corridor, September 6-October 16, 2008.

Update: We went over to Mill Run after the first service at Lytham to see how it looked (We were out of town when it was hung). I think there are 24 paintings, and they are just wonderful. NOTHING IS FOR SALE! She uses her art to tell the story of Haiti and Christian missions. But if they were for sale, I'd be in line.
