Join Pastor Chris for a celebration of art and spirit.

 

Come and delight in the act of creation as we explore the arts as a means to express our spirituality.  Experienced facilitators will lead mini-workshops in a variety of artistic media including collage, clay, beads, paint, written word, movement and body prayer.  Each workshop will invite participants to enter the creative process through reflection on some aspect of their spirituality.  This engaging and interactive event is open to all who wish to claim- or reclaim– their imaginative, creative selves.  What better way to honor our Creator than to embrace our creativity?
