It's the last week of the spring term at YTI! We're thankful for an amazing academic year at the institute, and wish our students (and faculty!) a great summer break over the coming weeks.

Just because it's summer doesn't mean nothing is going on at YTI, though. Join us for Arts Week July 27–30 (https://yellowstonetheology.org/arts-week/), and watch for details about fall classes and registration in the coming days!

Arts Week is coming to YTI this summer on July 27–30!

Led by artists Mary Gammill (painting, multi-media, color & symbol) and Kurt Caddy (kintsugi, mosaics, abstract, color & symbol), visual arts workshops will provide hands-on opportunities to work in various media, including kintsugi, paint, and mosaic. In the worship and music track, led by Dr. Tracie Jernigan, participants will discuss and create as they consider the vital place of music in the church.

Join us as we explore the beauties of art and faith and create in community!

Maybe you're working on a Bible study or sermon, and you need resources to help you prepare. Or maybe you want to dig deeper into the writings of some of the Church Fathers like Augustine, Irenaeus, or Jerome. Or perhaps you're just looking for your next good read—maybe something by Tolkien, Chesterton, or C. S. Lewis.

The YTI library has nearly 20,000 volumes available, featuring titles in biblical studies, theology, history, literature, and more. Stop by the Barn at 83 Rowland Road in Bozeman during regular hours and take a look at what's waiting in the stacks!
