Painted Wednesday, November 26, 2008 at the 6:30 p.m. service. The cross and the rock are from Tabgha in Israel, both inside the Chapel of Peter's Primacy on the Sea of Galilee, the traditional site of Jesus' third appearance to the disciples after the resurrection - the place where he stood on the shore and prepared breakfast for his disciples - the place of Peter's reinstatement. After denying Jesus 3 times before the crucifixion, it is here by the Galilee that Jesus prompts Peter to proclaim 3 times his love for Jesus, with Jesus' instruction to "feed my sheep." This painting is being donated to St. Andrews' mission outreach auction, at it's annual "Fishin' for a Mission" to help raise money to "feed His sheep."
