I thank God for...

/

creativity, smiles, friendships, different countries, different cultures, and this time where we can all get together and get messy because it's fun! Here are some pictures that my friend Becky took at last weeks Creativity Night. We had a great turn out with about 8 people... we even had a story teller! It really is so much fun, and as soon as it's over I'm already wanting it to be the next Wednesday. Enjoy the pictures, I'll be bringing my own camera this week.

Also, stay tuned for another blog post coming soon about something SUPER awesome going on in Jena tomorrow. It involves a German pastor from the west of Germany and his internship here, gourmet food, and sharing about Jesus!

Creativity Night!

/

I (Elyse) have started a new little ministry program at our church- Creativity Night! With all the space that our new church building provides, we have all been thinking of good ways to utilize the space and all that God has blessed us with! Having a church building in the city center, right next to a university building has its advantages! So, in trying to come up with ideas I really took a look inside myself and tried to recognize some of the gifts that God has given me and how I can use them. A couple of my gifts for sure are creativity and hospitality. Also realizing that with the ministries that the church already has going, the creative young people in the city were not really being reached out to. SO.... thus was born, Creativity Night!


Last week we had more of a meeting type of night with a few of my friends who are also excited about having fun and crafting it up with some other people! Please be praying that God uses this as a great way to get people more familiar with each other as well as with the church, and what we're all about. I'm praying that through being creative together, maybe somehow they can see the One that gives them creativity is the One who created them!
