Candy will give a power point talk with examples from her art work to show how God speaks to his people today. This retired Westminster Elementary School teacher now publishes her art work in the form of prints, calendars, greeting cards, and banners. Barbara Fisher, the head of an art publishing company wrote of Candy's art work: "Welcome to the wonderful and whimsical world of Candy Aaron's art. Her unique art gives us a glimpse into heaven where the fruits of the spirit are bountiful. Candy's Picture Parables speak to the child in all of us and show us simply and profoundly what a delightful God we serve and His unending love for us." This talk will be preceded by contemporary praise music led by Paul and Mary Lou Day. For further information, contact Pastor Art Thomas at 410 756 6092.
