The Maker’s Space grew out of our congregation of GEECC in 2013, and is going into our 9th year of meetings of many different people. It is a place where we welcome creativity in our lives and introduce our creative Creator to our friends in our community. It is a safe place where you and your friends will feel welcomed. This year’s sessions will focus on Creative Prayer, using art to have a conversation with God. Having a conversation with a friend requires listening as well as talking, and we will be using art as a tool in the conversation process, especially when there are no words to describe our emotions. We will explore different kinds of prayer using different art mediums.

The October session of The Maker's Space will have a time of creating and listening to what's on your heart and hearing what is on the heart of God. We will explore two kinds of prayer, lament and praise and water based painting with pen and ink mediums. The importance is on the process not necessarily on the end product, although the art continues to speak long after the session is over. Come and explore how the arts can be a way to come out of the busyness of life and to hear purpose and validation of how much the Creator loves you.

Mark your calendars and invite your friends to the following sessions;

Oct. 9 Lament and praise

Nov. 13 Forgiveness and Thanksgiving

Jan. 15 Guest Artist Alison Tisdale Régnier “Paint your Heart Out”
