Norway hall 1419 bellingham, wa

We are all capable of creating art, some of us are slightly better at it than others though. The On Earth Creatives is a group of young women within the Ekklesia community with the talent to create beautiful works. They have created an Instagram for the purpose of commissioning works of art to raise money for the On Earth Project. They are creating beautiful things for a beautiful purpose.

As we kicked off our neighboring series for the “on earth project”, @brianbehrends spoke about how big of an impact our love can make in another persons life, to be specific he said “you are far more important to the people around you than you realize”. Loving God and loving our neighbor is what brings us life, and brings life into our communities. Coincidentally, brian spoke (for his last time as an Ekklesia staff member) about loving people, and he does it so well. Brian, we will all miss you, but we’re excited for you as you take on the creative director role for Christ the King Bellingham. After 6 years serving the Ekklesia community, our very own Brian Behrends is moving into a new roll as the Creative Director of CTK Bellingham.

She taught that when times get hard, press into community, because they are the people that will remind you of God’s faithfulness and goodness when you aren’t seeing it yourself. #ekklesiabham #onearthproject
