Created To Worship

As I registered Vertical Creativity for a table at the Snowflake Gala at Mulberry Arts Studio (Feb 8, from 2-6 PM), I have gotten to know Elaine via email. (Elaine is the amazing event coordinator for the Gala.) She has a website that I'd like to bring to your attention, it's called Created to Worship. I invite you to enter the site and read about what God has called her to do as she seeks His heart.

I'm excited because I get to meet Elaine tomorrow, face to face, at a "Meet & Greet" for arts ministry leaders of the surrounding area. Artists Junction International is sponsoring this little gathering. From what I understand, it's the first time they've done anything like this. It will be a time to get to know others who are living out a similar calling, integrating the arts with spirituality, we'll spend time in prayer for one another and provide a web of support for each other. I'm honored to have been invited.

God is moving among us and is using the arts and creativity as a way to connect to His people. I'd ask you to pray for the arts ministry at Living Word, for Vertical Creativity and the other arts ministries who desire to live out the calling set before them.

And, I just want to thank YOU for the support you offer me and Vertical Creativity. I feel so blessed to be among such amazing people, readers, and friends. I'm blessed to be on staff at a church that sees the value of the arts and beauty. I also am grateful to Deb and her husband, of Artists Junction International, for discerning God's voice in bringing together people for this "Meet & Greet" tomorrow. I believe they hope it will become a monthly gathering.

Grace & peace ~ deAnn
