Then the Lord said to Moses, “See, I
have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of
Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill,
ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts—to make artistic
designs for work in gold, silver, and bronze, to cut and set stones,
to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of craftsmanship.”
Exodus 31:1-5 NIV
Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where
the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
2 Corinthians 3:17 NKJV
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
for brethren to dwell together in unity!

Announcing: Our Theme for 2013, Art and
Relationships
In our inaugural year, we were honored to connect people from many
different churches in our communities. As we look forward to 2013, we want to
nurture those connections with our own version of small group collaboratives
that provide meaningful and fun fellowship. Through ongoing and purposeful
gatherings, we hope to learn, grow, pray, and discover a new freedom in our art
together. We’re inviting qualified mentors and teachers to lead us in this
exciting journey.
We will offer four categories of groups. Each group will determine its own
schedule, projects, and frequency of meeting at its first collaborative.
Ministry-oriented groups: community outreach such as prisons,
hospitals, nursing homes, etc.
Church service groups: traveling exhibits, worship arts such as
power point art, prophetic expression, or video devotionals.
Personal growth groups: art journaling, Scripture study with art,
devotionals art.
Sign up today for the group(s) that most
appeal to you!
You are welcome to sign up for more than one, if you wish. Your leaders will
contact you with information and first meeting dates as soon as we determine
details and a schedule.
