Come, write, be inspired, encourage, and affirmed in your God-given gift to share your heart through words.

NO FEE - however, pack your lunch! Laptops are fine as are notebooks. Breakfasty sweets and beverages will be available.

First Friday York - 9/5

Have you ever been to York's First Friday and participated in the arts move in the city? Well, lets do it on September 5th!

The thought here is that we'll meet up in front of the White Rose Bar and Grill on the (Beaver Street side of the building) at 6pm. From there, we can do whatever! Grab dinner, visit the galleries and boutiques. I just want to ...flood York with the presence of the Lord in and through us! And enjoy being together and looking at art, supporting what God is doing in the city of York through the arts and creativity.

There are many places to park. I like to park in the garage on Philly in the block between Beaver and George. There is a smaller parking lot across from White Rose. There is also on-street parking (I don't do parallel parking! lol) OR travel on Philly over the river and park in the Comcast lot in the right.

If you have any questions, please let me know! droe@lwccyork.com or 717-755-0089 x126. Please let me know if you plan to join us so we can keep an eye out for you!

Be in joy!

WILD ABSTRACTS @ The Studio

Wild Abstracts from 2013

Join us for two nights in September when we create wild abstract art inspired by artist Jackson Pollock, 9/11 and 9/18. Fee is $12 for one 30x30 wrapped canvas. You can reserve 2 canvases if you like, just RSVP to deAnn (droe@lwccyork.com) and let her know how many you want.

Check your basements, closets or garage fo...r any left-over interior latex wall paint from your home improvement projects. Bring it along to share with all. We will all chip in our wall paint (no oil base paints please) which is a good way to get rid of the stuff and have a variety of colors to choose from. For a few dollars you can go to Lowes or Home Depot and get sample size cans of any color you want. So you can custom create a painting for a specific room in your home.

We did this project last year (see the images in this post) and it was a HUGE HIT! So much fun! I hope you can join us in September. Room is limited so RSVP quick!

For these special nights at The Studio - we will NOT meet in the coffee bar but will meet in Kid::Life Room, 320.

Hope to see you next month at The Studio ~
be in joy!

Artists in Community

A small glimpse into the Night of Worship.

I just returned from the Creative Church Conference set in the stunningly beautiful city of Boise, Idaho (I found out I was mispronouncing it - I was saying "boy-zee" when it's actually pronounced "boy-see"). Love the city! Love Vineyard Boise, the church that hosted the conference. Love VineArts (the arts ministry of the church) led by the amazing Jessie Nilo and her equally amazing team of loving artists. The theme of the conference: Artists in Community. Yes, it is possible.

Having just returned home yesterday, in the middle of the night, I'm still exploring all that God has deposited in me while there. It's very hard to put into words at this point. But what I have come away with the most is the impact of a deeply loving community of creatives and artists. A community where lines are blurred between "professional" artists and "emerging" artists. Where love for Jesus  and love for others reigns FAR above what our art looks like, what gallery its hanging in, or if we have a spectacular home studio or not. Love. Period. I'm forever changed by the presence of the Holy Spirit who was very present at the conference. My spiritual family grew as I was introduced to all the new siblings in Christ that I met. My heart has expanded. God is so full of goodness!

If you want to be blown away by the love God has for you, watch this sermon by potter/pastor Dave Blakeslee (link below). He uses the art of throwing pots as a powerful illustration for his sermons. You can see it here. I highly recommend it.
