GOD IN EVERYDAY LIFE: 2026
This summer we will spend Sunday mornings exploring the good gifts that God has given us. We invite different people from our congregation to come share with us how they see God in their everyday life. Each week they bring their job or hobby to us and we learned about how God meets us in everything. Scroll to find out how we are discovering God in Everyday Life.
Beading with Gems
Norma shared with us her love of making creations with beads. She wanted us to know that just like we put individual beads on a creation and don't know what the full picture will be, so it is with our life. The good things and the hard things each represented by a bead. And while we might not know the full picture we can trust that God is making something beautiful with our life. We then created gem suncatchers to take home to help us remember!
Interior Design
We welcome Alaythia Godshall in, award winning and current Interior Design Student at George Fox University, to share with us her love of Interior Design. She taught us about the techniques and gave us our own kits to take home. We talked about God being a designer in his good world that he made, creating a safe and beautiful place for us to live. We can do the same thing when we create and design places of beauty and inclusion for ourselves and those around us.
Mini donkey care
Thank you Joy and Paul for sharing your donkeys, Winnie & Fiona, with us! It was an amazing morning at the barn learning about what it means to care for God's creation and learning the legend of the donkey. We talked about why Jesus might have rode into Jerusalem on a donkey versus a big horse, and talked about some of the qualities of donkeys that are a lot like Jesus (humble, hard working, protective). Our kids got to pet and brush the donkeys and play with some of their toys
kandi creations
We welcomed two of our very own, Olivia and Aria. They talked to us about their hobby of Kandi (pony beads for those of us of another generation). They shared with us how Kandi started and the special handshake that you do when trading a bracelet (peace, love, unity and respect). We talked about how they have used Kandi to love others and be cared for by others and how those ideas are ways we can live in Jesus' kingdom. They then taught the kids how to make lizards, bracelets and stars with the Kandi. It was a great morning and a huge thank you to Olivia and Aria for sharing with us!
