As well as helping Joel paint the murals, the young people are being given the chance to paint their own version of either the Garden of Eden, the Last Supper or the City of God. Their pictures will be part of an exhibition that we will be staged at the end of the project.
To help them make up their minds which picture they will each paint, we began today by looking at the Bible texts and thinking about the stories they told. There was a great debate about whether the fruit Adam and Eve ate was actually an apple.
Then it was on to painting the mural of the Last Supper. Some of the teenagers got more paint on themselves than they got on the wall but that's another story! Others turned their hand to painting the Garden of Eden wall white ready for Joel to start sketching.
