There are moments in worship that take us out of the ordinary and immerse us in something truly extraordinary. Drawn to the Word, presented by artist and pastor Paul Oman, was one such experience at Good Shepherd.
Paul Oman’s unique ministry brings scripture to life through the creation of large-scale paintings during worship. The sanctuary transformed into a living canvas, where art, faith, and community converged. As Paul painted, his brushstrokes interpreted the Word in real-time, illuminating the Biblical story in vivid color and emotion.
This wasn’t just a performance—it was worship in motion. Scripture readings, music, and Paul's painting unfolded together, guiding us into deeper reflection on God’s presence in our lives. By the end, the completed artwork stood as a visual testament to God’s promises and creativity.
What stood out most was the collective response. Watching the painting evolve reminded us of how God is always at work in our lives, sometimes in ways we don’t immediately see.
For those who attended, this experience will undoubtedly linger as a reminder of God’s artistry in our world and in us.
Thank you to Paul Oman for sharing this incredible gift, to the Good Shepherd Foundation, and to everyone who helped make this event possible. If you missed it, you can watch the full service here.
