SIKESTON, Mo. -- An event during Lent will provide artists another way to share their talents.

From March 24 to 31 the First United Methodist Church will host a "Faces of Jesus" art exhibit. Artists throughout the community are invited to be a part of the project by creating their own depictions of Jesus.

"What we're wanting to do is enhance the Lenten journey," said Donna Protzel, who came up with the idea. "I think that the arts have been overlooked somewhat in churches until recently."
