Art for Worship

MEETS 6:30pm
I would like to open my art studio, for a unique fellowship time with each other and the Lord.

Have you ever wanted to take God's word or conversations, or experiences with Him and put it on canvas? Have you ever asked God to show you how to? Over the next several weeks in this small life group, we will have an opportunity to share the beauty of God's word and share with one another. Then let God show us His own unique way, as he does, to express it.

I invite those of you that have this desire to join me in my studio. I only have room for four and myself. You will need to have your own supplies. Any media is welcome, watercolor, oil, acrylic, pen and ink, or any other media. Give me some indication as to the size of work you do, (only because I tend to work with large canvases). You will need to set aside three plus hours, for set up and take down. During this time we can pray, share God's word, a book, life, and just get to know each other. This is a way to share and express what God has put on your heart. Psalms 28:7, "The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart exalts, and with my song, (art), I shall thank Him."

"Now, about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant." 1 Corinthians 12:1
God clearly has a plan for you. You are never the wrong person, but you might be the right person in the wrong position.
This eight week study will take you on a journey to discover your spiritual gifts. Woven into the study will be a series of assessments, looking at your life experiences, your personal convictions and traits, and the observations of those who know you.
Our objective is to enable each of us to apply Gods direction to us as detailed in 1 Peter 4:10 "Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in various forms"

Prodigal God

MEETS 6:30-8:00pm
Two sons, one who kept the rules religiously and one who broke them all. One Father who loved both lost sons beyond anything they could imagine. Discover how deep and far God's grace goes in Timothy Keller's "The Prodigal God." This group will help you uncover, personalize, and apply life-changing insights. In six captivating sessions, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller opens your eyes to the powerful message of Jesus' best-known and least understood parable. The Prodigal God is a revelation of the very heart of the gospel: God's radical love for sinners of every kind. Taking you beyond the traditional focus on the wayward younger son, Keller helps you glean insights from each of the characters in Jesus' parable: the irreligious younger son, the moralistic elder son, and the Father who lavishes his love on both.

Did you experience a miracle yesterday, or did you miss one? When was the last time you experienced a "God-thing"? Something that happened--that only God could do?

The truth is, you were born to do God's work by God's power. You were born to walk out your door each morning believing that God will use you to deliver a necessary miracle to someone in need...You were born for this.
