Photographic works of Rev. Courtnay Veazey
In the Gathering Space
A sampling of Courtnay’s works — see the rest in the Gathering Space.
“Photography is a prayer practice.”
“What I love about this practice is that it offers images that open me to the Holy Spirit’s presence and guidance in ways that words often do not,” Courtnay writes as she shares photos she has taken at the two most recent CREDO conferences held for PCUSA pastors. As you stop by the exhibit, see what she has captured and read her words about what captures her.
Our annual event to support Martha O'Bryan Center was a big success, with greater attendance, generous donations, and lots of energy. Donations, 100% of which go to Martha O'Bryan, so far total about $4,500 (online totals still to come), and you can continue to donate at the link below.
