Genesis 1:1-2:4a

What does it mean to create with God in the midst of chaos? In a world shaped by exhaustion, noise, division, and uncertainty, it can be easy to mistake unfinishedness for failure or to assume that God only shows up once everything is clear and complete.

Join us for this week as we begin a new worship series, Godly Artists: The Role of Creativity in All of Us, as we turn to the opening story of Genesis and reflect on the God who creates beauty within what is formless, unfinished, and unresolved. Together, we’ll consider how creativity is not limited to artists, musicians, or writers, but is part of what it means to be made in the image of a Creator—bringing beauty, kindness, honesty, hope, and life-giving possibility into the world. Come as you are to worship, reflect, and discover how God might still be calling light out of darkness in us and through us today.
