Something
significant happened at the last meeting – last Monday night, the 7th,
only our third get together. One of the main reasons Larry Trapp and I
began these gatherings of artistic, creative Christian people, is to give them,
and ourselves, a forum where our creativity would be free (under God’s leading)
to express itself. We wanted a place
where human leadership is subordinate to the Creative Spirits within us that God
brings together and uses. At this meeting, that happened with great and
exciting result.
Important to all
of us is that TCAF has a ministry and outreach component to it. That said, we wanted to have a ministry and
outreach event, something that would plant our flag here in Tehachapi, and show
ourselves as a group with a true heart for our beloved believing and
non-believing community. I’d written a
number of full length Christian plays, and in my mind one in particular would
make a nice flag to plant, then the visual arts part of TCAF could exhibit
their art as part of that event so that all of us would have an opportunity to
minister in the ways God’s provided for us.
That’s not what
God had in mind. Creativity under God’s perfect
direction was at work. And His plan, and
those in which He was working, came up with something far more exciting, and
far more in keeping with the talents, direction and strengths of our group. In the new event, all our writers will write,
all our actors will act, all our artists will design and create, and all our
musicians will bring their beauty, power, and impact. And, without revealing too much, what will be
said by the event – an event that will be open to the entire Tehachapi
community, Christian and otherwise, will be a gentle, meaningful, impactful
message that all need to hear. As all
surrounding this event, at this time, is in its infancy, the when is still to
be determined, but it will be publicized in plenty of time for you to make
arrangements to come and invite those who need to hear what will be said, as
well. God bless.
