About this Event
Join us for a soul-filling afternoon where faith meets craftsmanship. In this unique hands-on workshop, we’ll be building a wooden keepsake box while exploring what it means to root ourselves in Christ.
Through each step of this beginner-friendly woodworking project, we’ll reflect on the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Builders (Matthew 7:24–27) and how precise, intentional building mirrors our spiritual walk. As we measure, cut, and square our boards, we’ll also examine how God calls us to build lives that are stable, strong, and aligned with His Word.
"For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.”
— 1 Corinthians 3:11
