Barnes Foundation Outing

(Meet at the Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville)

Join us for a day at the Barnes Foundation, a museum that features some of the most important impressionist, post-impressionist and modern paintings in the world, including seven painted by Vincent Van Gogh. This outing is part of an Adult Education series sponsored by the Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville and the Pennington Presbyterian Church.

The cost includes the price of admission, a docent-led tour, a lecture by Dr. Mikoski, and all transportation. Participants are responsible for the cost of lunch at the Barnes Foundation. We will depart via carpool from the parking lot of the Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville at 9:30.

“One may have a blazing hearth in one’s soul, and yet no one ever comes to sit by it. Passers-by see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on their way. Now, look here, what can be done, should one tend that inward fire, turn to oneself for strength, and wait patiently — yet with how much impatience — for the hour when someone will come and sit down — maybe to stay? Let him who believes in God wait for the hour that will come sooner or later.”

-Letter to Theo, December 1883
