Arts & Craft Exhibition

On 1st July 2006  we held an Arts and Crafts Exhibition - an opportunity to share with the community the enjoyment members of the fellowship gain from art and craft activities of all sorts, to share skills and techniques, and to express how our creativity brings glory to God by celebrating His creativity.

Here is a selection of pictures of some of the exhibits and activities on display on the day. Not everything is shown - some things are easier to photograph than others!

These must be the biggest knitting needles I have ever seen. I presume they weren't used to knit this tea service!

     

Balloon sculpture - Dave Cole kept children of all ages happy! Face painting was part of the fun too - sadly the England football team only lasted a couple of hours more in the world cup!

Or for the more serious minded youngster, the chance to try out watercolour painting:-

Chris Richards has done some amazing things with wood:-

We invited SBC pre-School, and Selsdon Primary and Greenvale Primary Schools to submit artwork on the Rainbow, to link in with the Rainbow Vision at Selsdon Baptist Church - here are some of the paintings they produced:-

This wonderful set of rainbow colours was done by members of our MADD club for children in school years 1 - 3.

We have a wonderful set of banners that are used in the church, and many of these were on display in the church. These have been produced by a small team over the years. Here is a picture of one of them, and of a new banner being worked on during the exhibition.

Janet at work pinning up a new banner - "I am the True Vine" which will remind us that we must draw our strength form Jesus, just as the grape draws its strength from the vine.

A short prayer to close

We offer all our creativity as an offering to God - may it bring glory to God - we worship God with our hearts, with our minds, and with the work of our hands. We pray that you are touched by God's love and may know his friendship. Amen
