VineArts Update
January 2014
It's a new beginning, a fresh start. Maybe a time for reflection and asking honest questions, or for spending some quiet time with God. What are your needs as an creative person? How can we help equip you this year?
Our goal at VineArts is to provide opportunities for everyone to grow spiritually and artistically in Christ-filled community. Let us know how we can serve you. Bless you in this coming year! |

January VineArts Exhibit
"Second Chances: Mercy and Grace"
(up through Easter)
taking art entries January 19, 21, 22
“PEOPLE NEED LOVING THE MOST
WHEN THEY DESERVE IT THE LEAST.”
—Jim Elliot (a missionary killed in Ecuador while ministering to native warriors; after his death, Jim's family led the warriors to Christ)
Mercy: The withholding of punishment shown to an offender; abstaining from the degree of strictness or severity deserved; relieving another’s distress or misfortune.
Grace: The sovereign gift of totally undeserved kindness, shown by God to man; an unexpected act of kindness or compassion; undeserved or ill-deserved favor/gifts.
Who deserves another chance? God's mercies are new every morning. What greater mercy has ever been shown when He sent His Son to die for us? He is limitless, continually creative when we make choices that get us off track, and able to lead us to a new path. It’s never too late for a do-over. It’s never too big or small an act to show someone else the extravagant love, mercy, and kindness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Download the required entry packet here.
