The community is coming together for a church art project to help revitalize Downtown Lima. On Saturday morning people came out to I Can Celebration Ministries to help paint the "On We Grow" mural. People loaded up their paintbrushes and began painting triangles on the side of the church. The purpose of this mural is to represent how people continue to grow through situations.
When the mural is finished it will display a child throwing seeds down which grows into a tree with hanging fruit. This project is through a partnership with the Lima Mural Project. The pastor of the church believes this mural will make a huge impact on the lima-area.
“We thought that this would be a great opportunity to help beautify Lima,” said Wayne Bradley, I Can Celebration Ministries pastor. “We’re in the downtown area in the downtown district so we got permission by the city to do this and they saw the drawing and they were like 'yeah this is really going to be nice’.”
The project is expected by complete within the next week and a half.
