Are you insane yet?

Because I'm getting there! Life gets pretty hectic around this time of year! I hope in the midst of all the exams, end of semester projects, and holiday activities that you are finding time to worship, to reflect, and to remember that Jesus is central to this season. He is without a doubt the greatest gift we have ever been given!




Heart of the Arts Study begins January 7th!





I know you aren't thinking about January at this point, but I am, and I have a special course of study lined up for January and February that you need to take advantage of. I know so many of you are busy on Wednesday nights, but it's never a bad thing to make time for learning more about Jesus and your relationship to him.

The study is called "Heart of the Arts" and it focuses on learning more about God through understanding the creative abilities he's given us all. As we study different areas of art (visual arts, music, drama, carving, and creative writing) we learn that God is the source of all our creativity and has given us amazing ways to reflect him in our own creative endeavors. You guys will work with an adult who is skilled in one of those art areas and will spend time each week creating something that will be used at the end of February in a special worship service.

I challenge you to commit 6 weeks to this study. I challenge you to discover what God has given you and how He will use what you have to bring glory and honor to himself. And I hope to see you there! Sign ups will begin THIS sunday in Sunday school.
