You weren’t an accident. You weren’t mass produced. You aren’t an assembly-line product. You were deliberately planned, specifically gifted, and lovingly positioned on the earth by the Master Craftsman. –Max Lucado

There’s no doubt about it—life can feel meaningless, monotonous and mundane. We often
fail to see how our seemingly meager offerings can make a difference for God’s Kingdom.

But did you know that every aspect of your life can be seen as a Creative pursuit, designed
to glorify the Creator? And that no one else can do what He’s prepared for YOU to do?

Join us for Masterpiece, Shepherd of the Valley’s fall women’s gathering. Discover your
unique gifts, understand your position in the Kingdom, and gain insight into the specific
plan and purpose God has for you. You will be empowered and energized to use your
unique gifting to accomplish the works that have been lovingly prepared for you by the
Creator Himself.

OUR GUEST SPEAKER: Jenn Alexander
Captivating and sincere, Jenn immediately connects with crowds of any size and age. She brings topics and Bible stories to life with humor, clarity and candid stories about her own life as a wife and mother of three boys. Jenn’s keen mind, deep heart, and passionate spirit, along with her decades of speaking experience, make her messages authoritative yet at the same time personal and relevant.

ARE YOU AN ‘ARTIST’?
We are excited to showcase some of the outstanding creative talents of the women amongst us (this means you!). A variety of your pieces of artwork will be on display at Masterpiece. Examples of items sought include paintings, drawings, floral arrangements, sculpture, short written works, stained glass, pottery, mosaics, quilts, or other types of artwork (no solicitation).

If you have artwork you’d be willing to display, please indicate so at the designated space when you register. You will be contacted with further instructions.

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. –Ephesians 2:10

As we crafted this event to share and learn about our innate, God-given, creative nature, it seemed only appropriate to support a ministry with a similar mission. The ministry partner we are highlighting is Vivid Artistry Co., a Christian arts non-profit with a mission to connect people to God through the arts and provide an oasis of beauty and hope. Vivid Artistry Co. uses workshops, retreats, videos, a podcast, a dance troupe, and other creative ventures to promote their mission. They have recently been added as a partner artist for St. Paul-based Art House North, founded by recording artist Sara Groves. If you would like to make a donation to Vivid Artistry Co., CLICK HERE.
