Advent Workshop
Are you looking for an opportunity to get together with friends and family before the Christmas rush? Are you a person who enjoys making something new for your Christmas tree each year? Do you have artistic talent? Or...do you struggle gluing two pieces of felt together but enjoy talking to friends and having a bite to eat after church? If you said yes to any of these questions plan to come to the Fourth Annual Advent Workshop on Sunday, November 28 at Noon. All are welcome! We will have a light soup and salad lunch and spend some time in craft fellowship. The Fellowship Hall will be transformed into an ornament workshop where leaders will instruct the “craft challenged” through the “experienced crafter” of all ages and skills levels. Participants are encouraged to bring a pair of craft scissors; everything else is provided. Please RSVP to Kathy Cannon in the church office so we can be sure to have enough food. See you there!
