Although there was stormy weather the day before, by the time the Sacred Arts Festival was ready to welcome visitors; the clouds had parted, the sun was shining, and it was a fine day for arts, crafts, and fellowship.

The one-day event was planned as "a community celebration of the Arts that reflects God's grace, nature's beauty and the spiritual dimension of our lives". Artist's booths were setup around the perimeter of the church parking lot. Located by the entrance to the church were food booths and an inflatable playground for children. And at the center of the activity was an excellent live band playing bluegrass music.
