SAT, October 25, 2025Intergenerational Art Scripture by Heart

WORKSHOP 5: Julie Drew

Intergen Art and Scripture-by-Heart

9-10:30 am PST 

$35 CAD

This creative session is designed to get your creativity flowing and connecting with the scripture in fresh ways. Julie Drew invites you to join her in exploring what God is moving in you as you learn scripture by heart.

Julie will introduce the process, and share some of her own art work and scripture.
The rest of the session, we will listen to some scripture and respond with painting. We see where the process takes us. This isn’t about great works of art – just the creative process of letting out what is inside of us to be seen. It is another way of listening and responding to scripture.

We do not always see our own hearts, emotions, and life clearly. Art has a way of bringing to light that which we can not clearly see, if we are open to the process. The Holy Spirit is ready to connect with us and intercede for us with “sighs too deep for words.” (Rom. 8). This painting process is a connection to that inner part of us and the Holy Spirit, through painting.

Julie requests that you come to the session with the art medium of your choice. (paper and pencil, ink, color pencils or paint (i.e. watercolor, tempera)).
