Date Change for Worship Painting- June 3rd

We have had two wonderful peaceful sessions of worship painting.  I wanted you to see the paintings that have come out of those two sessions.  Also, we decided to change the date of the last scheduled session to June 3rd.......10-1pm.G.E.Covenant Church, lower atrium.

Consider coming and trying it out.   It is a wonderful way to force yourself to sit still and paint with God and see what happens.  It is also indescribable to paint in the presence of other believers.  It truly isn't about the product, but I just was so surprised at what was produced.

The summer gallery will feature worship paintings, images that God has inspired you to paint, perhaps with a message.  Let's continue to practice listening to Him, and painting what He wants to show us.  Let's call this exhibit "Invisible" after a recent exhibit in Paris by the worship arts team there.  You can read more about it below the worship paintings.

“Step out of the cave of fear, doubt, and limitations. You have hidden yourself in the tomb of discouragement, disappointment, and despair long enough.
          Emerge, My lovely child. Step into the Light, My people. Come forth, My church. The Tree of Life is leading the way. Life is on the outside of the tomb – and its life in abundance!
          Come out and SEE. Come out and BE SEEN. My truth has set you free to bloom in the light of My perfect, Holy, Love. Be whom I, Jesus Christ, call you to be: the bride of the King, clothed in grace, bold in faith – ready, willing and eager to bring treasure from Heaven to earth, as you fix your eyes on your Lord and Savior, and yield to the goodness of My Ways.” – prophetic words to go with Lynn Zuk-Lloyd’s painting




​This painting has a special memory of a morning in Norway marveling at the beauty of the reflection on the lake at sunrise--so far north that there was still snow on the hills in June. by Mary Crickmore


​Freedom from the Tomb.  Jesus died to give us freedom from sin but also the past and our old dead selves.  We are a new creation in Him.  Get ready to fly into the freedom He gives. by Vicky Martin


"And why do you worry about clothes?  See how the flowers of the field grow.  They do not labor or spin.  Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all is splendor was dressed like one of these." 
 Matt. 6:28 by Kriste Sveen


​"I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning...."
Psalm 130:6 by Kriste Sveen

Creative Prayer- Conversing with God using art

Image
 Why pray?  "First, God.  God is the subject of life.  God is foundational for living.  If we don't have a sense of the primacy of God, we will never get it right, get life right, get our lives right.  Not God at the margins; not God as an option; not God on the weekends.  God at center and circumference; God first and last. Having a conversation with God may be less about you and more about God.  Your focus may shift away from yourself and toward your creator.  If you have a friend who constantly asks you for things but never really wants to listen to you, how deep can your relationship go?  Sometimes we forget that God has a personality and a creative side to Him, and wants to engage us at a deeper level.  Let prayer be a time to savor.  Look forward to spending time with God, using art as a tool to slow down and be with God.  Allow this to be a time in which God speaks to you and you actively seek Him.  An audible voice may not come booming out of the clouds, but many thing

Creative Prayer Workshop #3 Paint Your Heart Out! Painting your emotions

Image
  We had a wonderful workshop with Allison leading us in painting our emotions.  We started with putting a color on paper of what a description of anger, joy, peace and love would look like to each of us in color. The next paintings were guided layers of emotions, perhaps a lie we believed, and the truth that we know, all represented in colors and layers.  Some of the pictures from the evening are below.

Session #4 of Creative Prayer..Praying with the Body and Making Crosses

  These ideas are taken from the book,  Making Crosses—A creative Connection to God, by Ellen Morris Prewitt .   Active Prayer   —Praying with your body Praying With the Body-Bringing the Psalms to Life by Roy DeLeon   Roy is an Oblate of St. Benedict and a spiritual director.   He teaches classes in “Blessed Movements”, praying with body, heart and soul, and conducts workshops at monasteries and retreat centers.   He lives in Washington state.      Warm up Active prayer with the Psalms Opening Alleluia praise prayer to begin anything.   This is also a way to get Scripture out of our heads and into the air and into our bodies. When we begin, we are reminded why we are praying, our intention is union with God, wherever we are, it is Holy ground and we need to be attentive and watchful for the inner movement of the triune God with us. The prayers are written in sections, with a Lectio Divine format, a slow, contemplative praying of the Scriptures which enables the Bible, the Word of God,
