Lynda Toews 2020-2021
Artist in Residence
Lynda Toews was Bethel’s artist-in-residence for 2020-2021 – during the COVID pandemic. Toews designed a quilt to celebrate the Mennonite Central Committee’s 100th Anniversary. The quilt was sewn by Cheryl Warkentin. Bethel donated this quilt to the MCC. 2020 was also the year of the launch of a new Mennonite Church hymnal, Voices Together, for which Toews created a large painting to celebrate music. Her final project was on the theme of trees. In addition to these three main projects, Toews also preached and did an adult education presentation on faith and art using Zoom. She also contributed to the design and content of an artist-in-residence section of the Bethel web site (with Martin Kaethler).
