HOPE THRU ART

(picture taken from Hope Thru Art's Facebook page) 

For those of you who were not at the last meeting we want to tell you about a very exciting opportunity to make Art for the homeless. Steve is an awesome man of God who lives among and ministers to the homeless in Phoenix. He started his ministry, Hope Thru Art (check out his Facebook Page) about 20 years ago and he makes Art and hangs it on trees and fences in the area so anyone who needs to hear a message of Hope is welcome to take them to keep. He also hands out white socks and water. We want to help support his organization. When I asked what he needed, he said more ART and WATER and WHITE SOCKS. How easy is that? We can do that?
When you hear the (goosebump) stories he told me about how God has used Art to change lives in amazing ways- we couldn't wait to share this with the group. Those at the meeting were very excited to be a part. So here is how you can help.

Make Art: 

• 10" x 10" pieces of cardboard will be used (we will be tying strings to them and hanging from fences and trees) - also Hope Thru Art includes their information on the back so that they can follow up and minister to anyone who contacts them. 
• You can paint, write poems, encouraging words like Hope- Mercy- Forgiveness (only requirement is that it needs to be from you heart)
• Artwork can be very simple to very detailed (again do what is on your heart) 
• Make as many pieces as you want 

Bring all Artwork to our meeting on July 1st. You must attend this meeting in order to participate in this ministry. (unless you have a very good excuse and you buy Susan and Bekah chocolate, then we might reconsider)  No really, the reason it is important to be at our July 1st meeting is because we will not have any other time to distribute all the details and we need to know how many are interested in participating so we can arrange the transportation. Please be in prayer about whether or not you are to be a part of this ministry opportunity.

The following Saturday, July 7th (early morn) we will  caravan to "the Garden" which is an area designated by Steve, where we will serve alongside his team. We are there to assist them anyway we can. On this Saturday, we will be handing out water and white socks, so if you can bring any of this- that would be great. (if you can't attend this Saturday service day,  but want to contribute Art- you can. Just bring Art to July 1st meeting)

If you have anymore questions, please email us: 1oneartgroup@gmail.com
