Music and Arts Ministry
Within our congregation, music and the arts are an integral part of our weekly worship experience as well as seasonal celebrations. We strive to empower believers to spread the Good News of the Gospel through artistic expression and we encourage people to offer their gifts with excellence in praise to our Almighty God. The Ministry for Music and the Arts seeks to promote not only deepening relationships with Jesus Christ but also more profound relationships with one another. Opportunities for involvement include multiple vocal ensembles, handbell choirs, instrumental opportunities, contemporary worship teams, reader's theater, drama, visual arts and more. All who desire to participate in this robust ministry are encouraged to do so regardless of skill or experience.  If you have an interest but don’t know where to join in, please contact our office at 520-575-9901 or email us at rlc@orovalley.org.

The Arts
Drama Ministry & Resurrection Troupers: Drama ministry is an evangelism tool for ministry that supports the message and God's Word through the use of forms such as small skits, plays and mime.  Reader's Theater is a simplified form of drama, in which the participants usually do not work from memory, but rather through reading, using vocal expression to bring the Word to life.  Drama & Reader's Theater is a ministry that encourages the discovery of hidden talents to be used for the glory of God.  Rehearsal schedule will vary based on season and script. All ages welcome! For more information or to express interest, please contact our office at

We have a great Art Room in the Outreach Center Building for gathering in small groups for projects in glass, metal, leather, clay, knitting, painting, or whatever your interest might be. There is Adult Open Studio time as well as Children's Art Workshops that often work in conjunction with the Child Development Center.
 
We also have a wonderful space next to the Art Room that we call our Boutique. In the Boutique, we display items made in our studio as well as items donated by artisans. The Boutique is open for browsing and purchasing on Sunday mornings on a rotating schedule. Artists may also display their work as “Featured Artists” on a particular prearranged Sunday.
 
Art by Heart is operated by volunteers who welcome new ideas and participation according to your interests. The current schedule for the Art Room and Boutique can be found in the weekly Vision or by contacting the Church Office 520-575-9901. We hope you'll join us and know that all skill levels are welcome, from beginners to more experienced.
