Art Reception POSTPONED

Hello friends!!

Due to the pending storm and the impossibility to nail down when it may arrive, we've decided to postpone tomorrow night's art reception to Friday, 1/29, 6pm to 8pm. One artist participating comes from Reading and a few more from Lancaster and I know some of you plan to come and you drive from Baltimore and Harrisburg - I don't want to put any of you at risk should the snow begin to fall earlier than what's expected. 

I hope you are able to come enjoy a fantastic evening full of art and creativity next week!! Again here's the NEW date for the Art = Ministry Art reception:

Friday, January 29, from 6pm to 8pm at Living Word Community Church

Same awesomeness, different night!

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Be in joy and stay safe in the blizzard!

Powerful Stories of How God Uses Art & Artists

The January/February exhibit, Art = Ministry is up and looking amazing. The stories are even more amazing! Click here to read a copy of The Heart Behind the Art booklet and prepare to be blown away by how God uses surrendered artists to minister to our broken and searching world. Below are a host of photos of the exhibit.

Reminder: The Art Reception is Friday, January 29, from 6pm to 8pm in the Common Grounds Gallery. It's going to be an evening jam-packed with creativity! There will even be art tables for you to explore your artistic abilities. And of course, you'll hear from the artists, there will be a live painting demo, and our friend, Ramon will be here to stylize your name into graffiti. This is a family friendly evening. Snacks and coffee will be provided too. Hope you can make it!

art = ministry exhibit and reception

 

Ministry is allowing God to use your gifts and abilities for the benefit of others, so that they may experience the love of Jesus through you. Gifts and abilities differ from person to person, as God uniquely makes us all for His glory. Some people minister through teaching. Some minister through music. Some minister through hospitality. Some minister through listening. You get it—the list goes on and on. In what ways does God use you to minister to others? Something I discovered powerfully over the past several years is how God uses some to minister through their art. This exhibit has many beautiful examples of just that—stories of how God touches lives through surrendered artists and creatives.

Join us on Friday, January 29nd from 6pm to 8pm for the "art = ministry" exhibit artist's reception. Artists will share briefly how God uses their creativity to minster to others, (these stories are powerful!), and enjoy seeing examples of their art while sipping Seattle's Best coffee and munching on snacks with new friends and old friends. We will have art tables for you to explore your own creativity and even a few of what I'm calling, roaming artists. You'll have come to see what I mean! It will be a creatively-charged evening to say the least! And it's a family-friendly event.

Artist's participating in this exhibit and reception:

• Becky Winand
• Cliff Engle
• Dave Weiss

We have more than the 12 artists represented in this exhibit in Infused Arts who minister through their art. I’m proud of the creatives and artists at LWCC for having God’s heart and allowing Him to use them to impact the Kingdom for His glory! This is what Infused Arts is all about.

 

 

Loving God. Valuing our creativity. Making a difference.

 

 

“On earth as it is in Heaven.”

 

We hope too see you at the Art Reception on Friday, January 29 at LWCC.

Names of God Exhibit

Here's a tiny snippet of the Names of God exhibit!

We invite you to the Art Reception to view all the work. See info below.

In February of this year, I came across a beautiful video on YouTube of a song sharing many of the names of God. I was so moved by this and began meditating on the sheer number of names He’s been given or declared as Himself in scripture. That’s when the idea for the Names of God exhibit came to me. How amazing it would be to invite artists and writers into a prayerful and intentional experience to encounter one of the many powerful names of God and create from that place of His presence. 

There were forty-five people who said yes to this spiritual and artistic challenge and we began meeting once a month from March through August. In these “NOG” gatherings we’d share our WIP (work in progress), pray for one another as we hit spiritual or creative obstacles, work on our pieces, or share our experiences of God as we created art or written pieces around His name. These gatherings were sacred, as God’s presence was tangible. He was pleased that we’d push into a project like this.

Life hit some of the artists and writers very hard and a few of the original forty-five, reluctantly, had to step out of the project. However, we have thirty-seven exhibiting in this exhibit, which is pretty good after a six month, fairly intensive, creative project.

I believe that this exhibit carries something special. Each piece, written or visual, was created in prayer, in God’s presence. I know the Holy Spirit flowed through each person to create the beauty you see and read here in this booklet. Take time to explore each facet of this exhibit. I know the Lord will move your heart to consider what name of God speaks to you.

Here is the list of the artists and writers involved:
