Last night started a 4 week long art camp that we are doing at Common Ground Community Church. It will be every Wednesday (from 5:30pm to 8:30pm) during August with an art showing on Saturday, 8/29. This is a way to get the children from the nearby neighborhoods to know we care for them. Teresa and I helped last night and will be part of the team of workers; it should be fun.
It’s kind of neat how it came to be. Back in the spring, I mentioned an idea for one of our men to teach karate at the church. We were trying to come up with ideas to use the building during the week. Eileen heard me talking with Sam about him praying about it and she asked me if she could do something with art. Eileen is ultra talented with any forms of art and writing. I told our head elder (Lead Pastor) about my conversation. He and Eileen started talking and now we have this art camp.
I’m a firm believer that God can and will use our talents and hobbies if we give them over to Him to use. Sam will be using his skill at karate (he’s a black belt) this fall to teach karate to the children and Eileen is using her talent with art to share Christ with children. What talent or hobby do you have that you can give to God to use? You’d be surprised what He can do with it. Remember what He did with 5 barley loaves of bread and 2 small fish. Give it over to Him.
