let’s build an altar at arts fest

My friend Bret approached me with an idea a couple of months ago. It’s creative, Jesus-centered, and might be just what this community needs.

We’re going to build an Altar to Jesus at Arts Fest this year in State College. Arts Fest is a nationally recognized shin dig in State College, PA. Seriously, it’s a pretty big deal. And it’s just around the corner on the calendar–July 14-17.

Now, just to eliminate any confusion, it’s not going to be an altar of stone or wood; it’s an altar of worship and prayer. Bret writes:
From the minute the festival begins to the minute it ends, a song will arise from the heart of the Arts Festival and continuous praise will ascend before Him. We are also looking to invite Jesus to perform a “Renaissance” in our midst by doing artistic acts in our lives and the lives of those around us. In other words, we are praying that everyone who attends the Arts Festival is awakened to the glory of Jesus and invites Him to make their very lives a living work of art through His Spirit.

Take a few minutes to poke around the website. If you’re a worship leader–large church or small group–sign up for one of the worship slots. If you’re interested in coming to pray, there’s a spot for you, too. We want to cover the entire Arts Fest with the presence of Jesus, the Master Artist.

Come be part of something significant in Happy Valley during Arts Fest 2011. Come create!
