FEATURED UPDATES
STUDENT MINISTRIES UPDATE
With joy and sadness we want to inform you that our Director of Student Ministry, Emily Maruyama has accepted a full time High School Director position at another church. Emily is graduating from college this semester and we celebrate with her as she follows God’s call on her life. We are so thankful for her time at GEECC and her wonderful work with our students. Obviously, we are also sad that she will no longer be with us, but the sadness exists because she has done such a wonderful job as our Director. Please join us in prayer for Emily as she transitions, for our students as they walk through this transition, and for our church as we prayerfully seek our next Director of Student Ministry. Emily’s last day with us will be Thursday, April 21st. We praise God for His leading in Emily’s life and for her desire to pursue a life of ministering to young people. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me.
Peace,
Pastor Jeff

Did you know:
"In our society, at the age of five, 90% of the population measures "high creativity." By the age of seven, the figure has dropped to 10%. And the percentage of adults with high creativity is only 2%! Our creativity is destroyed not through the use of outside force, but through criticism, innuendo..."
--Finley Eversole, in The Politics of Creativity
At The Maker’s Space, we use art as a tool to slow down and retrieve that lost creativity in order to live a more creative life, as we were created to do. This year, the new series of “Questions?” can help move you from languishing on to the “What’s Next?” Come try a new skill by engaging in art and be mindful of what is currently happening in and around you. This month, come play with CLAY! IN PERSON!
It’s free! So take some time for yourself. All supplies included but you do need to RSVP TO 2013themakersspace@gmail.com so we can prepare the clay. Come slow down and relax and try something new for your health!

MY SECRET DOUBLE ART EXHIBIT comes to Wheaton College
March 14-April 29, 2022 Marj Meade Gallery Wheaton College
"My Secret Double is an international exhibition that strives to address issues of mental health. Your secret double is the inner voice that fills you with negative thoughts, and can lead to depression, anxiety, fear and addiction. We are looking for artwork that expresses the artist’s personal journey with that secret voice, also ways in which hope may be found in the midst of that journey."
The exhibition originated in Latvia. Depression is the #1 problem in the country of Latvia, so a group of Christian artists decided to speak to that topic and catch the attention of the public. Now, it is traveling around the United States and other places it might be invited. You can read more on the sponsoring ministry @www.bridgebuildersint.com
Glen Ellyn Covenant Church has our own Call to Artists and will hold a satellite exhibition on "My Secret Double" in the South Alcove Gallery.
Submission deadline is March 27, 2022
