EXPRESSION

We were made for Expression. Inside each of us is a profound lure towards the act of creation. As God created order out of chaos in the book of Genesis, we are capable of creation. Through the literary arts, visual and performing arts, and multiple languages of expression, we make meaning in our world, for others, and for ourselves. The cosmos was created by God with a word. What “word” would you speak into the world?

  • Saturday, May 11 from 9:30 – Noon: Ashley Isernhagen will offer A Circle of Care for people who are interested in a quiet space of community, contemplation, and renewal using fiber arts. This session begins with coffee, tea, and refreshments before officially moving into the 2-hour session of working with materials as a spiritual practice of rest and renewal. During our time together participants can refresh and reset within a community of care, sharing joys and concerns, and reflecting on how God moves in, through and among us.  Ashley will return in May and June to continue this opportunity.

Saturday, June 8 from 9:30 – Noon: Inspiration! with Liz Forney. What stokes the fire of your heart and draws out the best of you?  What feels "Spirit" breathed in your life?  Drawing on poetry, scripture, life experience, and stories we'll wonder together what inspires us and brings us more alive.  After a time of verbal exploration we will enter into some visual expression using simple collage materials.  You don't need any experience to have a blast playing with putting together images and delighting in what shows up.  Recommended fee for this session is $30.
