Let's gather together as makers from all different disciplines to enjoy the intersection of our making and our Christian faith. We'll kick it all off with a fun, low-pressure drawing prompt followed by some inspiration as we learn how the very earliest Christians expressed their faith visually. The main dish, as usual, will be a time to share about what we've each been making lately and how it's been interacting with our faith.

This summer, our pastors invite you to read the first book in the Wilderking Trilogy, a book by Jonathan Rogers called The Bark of the Bog Owl.
On one level, this is a fun summer read, whether you are 1 year old or 91. The author describes the book as “swampy adventure fiction” and The School Library Journal says that “Roger’s writing is terrifically appealing. The adventure and humor are first rate.”
On another level, this is a deep summer read that is a sort of re-telling of the biblical David and Goliath story. As such, it not only invites the reader deeper into the biblical story, but also raises fascinating questions about how the arts can intersect with our faith.
Grab a copy (wherever you buy or borrow books - including our own library!) and dive right in! We will be hosting a multigenerational conversation about the book on August 9th at 4:00PM in the church library!
“‘Who knows what the future holds? Only the One God,’ explained Aidan. ‘You live the little bit of life that you can see in front of you. You live it well. And that gets you ready for whatever unfolds next.’” -The Bark of the Bog Owl
