ROC2- Devotional Art

Thanks to Visual Faith Coach- Belinda Bost

 from Conover, North Carolina 

for her Devotional Art

workshop tracks

 at the 2018 Reaching for Others Conference

 in Roanoke, Virginia this past weekend.

 Sessions had full rooms and everyone 

loved the hands on time to try things out.

 Visual Faith Coach- Erika Radke 

knows her materials and processes

 and helps everyone "just try."

 Conversations were sparked about hosting a 

Visual Faith 101 event at home churches,

 a neighborhood gathering,

 or gathering friends 

around the dining room table.

 Grandparents bought copies of the new 

CPH Enduring Word Bible for grandchildren as gifts-

with plans to sit and journal 

and pray Scripture with THEM.

We sold a case of the Bibles.

 It is never too late to start the journey.

And there is no wrong way to begin!

 Always fun-

Colored pencils, washi tape and watercolors.

What a blessing to gather 

pastor's wives, laywomen, 

LWML leaders and a member of the 

SED Board of Directors all together. 

 Pm Thacker joined us from

 Good Shepherd nLutheran Church

 in Roanoke, Virginia 

and is excited to take resources and ideas

 back to her home congregation.

Celebrating the gifts of Charity Olson Smith 

who grew up in Richmond, Virgina 

and is a graduate of Concordia Chicago.

 She serves as a DCE at St. Luke's Lutheran Church

 in Manhattan, Kansas.

She shared her gifts and experience with the youth-

 leading them through the Lutheran Youth Fellowship's

 Leadership Program.

Always great to welcome back 

gifted and talented young church workers.

She is also taking back Visual Faith ideas

 to share with her congregation.

We give thanks to Sirpa Quinn 

and Sally Hiller for their work 

to continue to bring Visual Faith resources, 

tools, and practices for spiritual formation

 to the people and families of the Southeastern District.
