Prayer Walking – Rachel Baxter // @makesomethingbeautiful
Prayer Room
Do you want your instagram followers to sign off from your feed having experienced the light of Christ? If so come join me as we walk through beautiful Downtown Greenville. I will be giving tips on how to take creative pictures that point people to our amazing creator and some thoughts on how to use your words to build up and bring light to social media. We will then hit the streets and as we walk we will be stopping along the way to take photographs with our iPhones. We also will be taking some time to pray for the people in our social media reach to experience the light of Christ.

When Faith & Creativity Merge – Caroline Simas // @MBCarolineSimas
Crepe Myrtle
Join Caroline Simas, licensed artist behind the brand Multiple Blessings, for a fun session focused on faith and creativity. She’ll share a bit of her story then guide you through experimental play with the provided art materials, practicing a few painting techniques before diving in. Each participant will create an original painted canvas to take home and will have the option of incorporating a favorite scripture onto the original piece. No experience necessary!
Blood Transfusion: A Creative Writing Laboratory – Erika Morrison // @erikalifeartist
H
Creative writing is less about pontificating and more about opening an artery and spilling out paragraphs of appalling and awesome truth in the most candid and imaginative way possible; in a way that pierces the hemoglobin of humanity. Come inside this workshop if you desire to pen your words in red and together we’ll explore blood—the most vital component to artistic writing—and exercise opening our arteries.
Bring pen and paper.
Get Messy! Knowing God Through Art – Carey Bailey // @CareyCBailey
Gardenia
As a recovering perfectionist, Carey will share her story of shredding the desire for a perfect life by teaching herself how to rest in the raw and real of God through art. In this breakout session she is inviting you to get your hands dirty! You will use paint, stamps, and paper to create cards that will serve as daily reminders for God’s truth in your life. No art experience is needed – we promise! Come, play, experiment, and discover what it looks like to enjoy the process of creating with freedom.
Wear something that can get messy. PJ’s are accepted.

Take a little time to color – Stephanie Ackermann // @ homegrownsteph

Coloring is all the rage but I have been doing it all my life!
Many of us tend to get away from doing things like coloring when we become adults due to responsibilities, schedules or just thinking that coloring of for kids. Studies show that coloring relieves stress, helps calm chaotic emotions and simply relaxes you. I have felt it and have seen it happen over and over in my classes so I invite you to “Take a little time to color”
Come sit, relax and take a little time to color using watercolors and art that is all ready for you. No skills or supplies necessary. Just you, me and a group of friends coloring.
