The Palate Art Discipleship Group


"The Palate is NOT an art class. We are a discipleship group in which visual learners can grow spiritually and creatively in a safe place. Our focus is worship, prayer, study, and community. Our goal is to become ever closer to Jesus Christ."  

we will track with the Sunday morning sermon series at VCF Boise and utilize the study tools for discussion. we will incorporate worship and prayer. we will utilize film clips, book study, poetry readings, sketching, painting, and many other creative activities. and we will spend time encouraging each other as artists who are Christians.

we were supposed to launch this artsy group tonight...but due to snowy weather conditions, we decided to cancel for driving safety purposes. so we will try again in 2 weeks on Monday night January 19th. 

and yes, The Palate is spelled correctly. we chose to spell it the "tongue" way (instead of the "art" way) because we want to live out Psalm 34:8 "Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him." our group is about feeding our inner artist with a sampling of artistic activities and solid biblical study. 

"the sense of taste: The ability to tell good wine, food etc from bad. Palate training teaches the
art of recognizing and appreciating what is good. The intake of variety awakens the senses of taste, touch, smell and sight, stimulates the appetite, gives exposure to a variety of different
textures, is visually exciting in a wide spectrum of colors, provides nutrition, allows experimentation and discovery. A variety of types, tastes and textures, become more accustomed to trying new foods and will develop tastes accordingly."
