C.cada is the artist’s ministry of Cornerstone Church our goal is to help people discover, develop and deploy their God given gifts for the church and for the community.

One Saturday a month our artists take over the church for a day. In the afternoon we host a class to help people discover their latent talents. This month I taught a class on the Shadorma form of poetry. We had four artists in attendance. Here are their works built from two prompts:

Lost

Silently

Crying. Holy God

Witness to

My spirit,

Fierce fire to cry out loud,

For my lost loved ones.

With brothers and sisters who

Cry out with me here.

To be a witness.

Righteous Rage

by Brenda J. Lillie

I cry out.

Loudly I roar on.

My face red.

My eyes closed.

Righteous rage falls on me.

We need you Lord, now.

The Lord’s Witness

by Brenda J. Lillie

Show! Shine! Share!

Holy Lord be here.

Fall like Fire!

Hear my cry.

Let me be Your witness.

Shine through me today.

Here is a Shadorma Brenda wrote just for me after I finished off the Valentines cake.

No Cake for You!

by Brenda J. Lillie

I had none!

My cake they ate it!

Left none for 

Me ’tis true!

My cake they ate it all up.

I shall have no more!

The morning ended with a housewarming for one of our long-time artists. This table was built by our reclamation artist, Sandy Freeman.

Thankful Thursdays 2-18-16

It’s  5 A.M. here. Pastor Wrinkles is just blinking his weary eyes open, but the Son is beckoning “Hurry! Get your coffee and come and praise me!”

It is time to dress in the garments of praise and face this day folks. Join me in worshiping the Savior of the World one more time!

 

Grace might not always give us what we want but it always provides what we need.

Share your song of grace in the comments section below.

An Encouragement To Do Your Work

This came from Ken one of our artist managers at C.cada

Hello everyone,

 

Check out the website to see when our future meetings will be and what special projects are planned.  With the January meeting cancelled, a quarter of a year has already passed since our last art show.  With the busyness of the holidays, many of us have spent little to no time on new art projects.  Let me encourage each of you to plan to finish at least one project per quarter until the next art show.  This would give each of us at least 3 pieces to display.  That’s 90 days for each project, including 3 CCADA workshops for each month.  God gave us abilities in various degrees.  I’m thinking He wants each of us to utilize those talents to the best of our individual abilities.  Ask Him to show you how to make time to discover, develop, and deploythose talents.  When you bless Him with your best, He blesses your best and makes it better.  To help keep us on track, we have scheduled a “show and tell” for our meetings in April and July—where we will share whatever work we have done up until that point with the other members of CCADA.  Remember that this could include any artwork, photography, writing, or music.  Let’s encourage each other by creating and sharing our ideas and efforts.

Color Your World: Canary

Today Jennifer has asked us to bring out the CANARY .  You can see a post full of canary photos by clicking the underlined link.

Here is the shade Jen’s contributor’s have been asked to match and my attempts at it are below that.

Wendy is one of C.cada’s mural painters. I am thinking the highlights in the window are canary.
