The Maker's Space

  These high school students come to FVCC after school for fellowship, dinner, Bible study and a life studies segment throughout the school year.  The Maker's Space gave a session on slowing down and praying for others without words.  After coming to the session after a group game,  the students were asked to take their pulse for 15 seconds.  Next, we had a 3 minute Breath prayer, inhaling with the Scripture, " The eternal God is your refuge," and exhaling with  "and underneath are the everlasting arms."   Then they took their pulse again and all found that they had lower numbers.  Deep breathing and breath prayer is a tool for slowing down and concentrating on breath helps us get out of our left brain planning control mode, into a right brain and more creative mode.

  MS Oct. 2023 Welcome to The Maker’s Space.   This is not a place just for those who call themselves artists, this is a place where we all become artists in the Presence of the Great Artist, Jesus. We are all creative, and when we use our creativity to make the world a better place, we are partnering and getting to know Jesus in His creative person.   But as importantly, you are making space to use art to slow down and learn to listen to Him.   He can tell us things through art that we might miss otherwise.   He can encourage us, tell us things about ourselves that he sees in us, comfort us, inspire us and give us ideas on how to proceed to tell others about Him and His Kingdom.   These next 2 hours are a gift to yourself to allow yourself to listen and hear from God.   Anytime we think about God and turn our attention to Him, we are worshipping Him…As said by Marva Dawn, “Worship is a Royal Waste of Time” Supplies: Prayer journal, or plain paper, ink pen and colored pencils or marker
