Godly Artists: The Role of Creativity in All of Us || Yes, I Am!

Sunday, June 21, 2026 || 11:00am

Rev. Michael A. Parker || Pastor, Asbury UMC, Annapolis, MD

Psalm 139:1-14

What does it mean to say yes to who God created us to be? This week we continue our summer worship series, Godly Artists: The Role of Creativity in All of Us, as we welcome Rev. Michael A. Parker from Asbury UMC in Annapolis. Drawing from Psalm 139:1–14, Rev. Michael will invite us to reflect on the God who knows us fully, searches us deeply, and creates us wonderfully.

Psalm 139 reminds us that before we ever create, perform, serve, or prove anything, we are already known by and beloved to God. Our lives themselves are works of divine artistry, shaped with care, wonder, and holy intention. In a world that often teaches us to question our worth, hide our gifts, or shrink back from who we are, this Psalm offers the sacred affirmation that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

This week we discover how saying “yes” to God’s creative work in us can open the door to deeper joy, greater courage, and a fuller expression of the gifts God has placed within each of us.
