🎨 Community Arts Workshop — Saturday, June 6, 10AM–4PM

We’re gathering again in the Learning Community classroom next to the chapel for a full day of creativity and connection. Drop in with whatever art or craft you’re working on and stay as long as you’d like.

Elaine Foy will be on hand with her sewing machine for simple clothing repairs and alterations, and she’s happy to help with knitting or sewing projects too.

🧶 Prayer Shawl Knitters are especially encouraged to join us in person or via Zoom from 2–4PM.

Feel free to bring a snack to share. Donations of food or money for the Blessing Box are appreciated but never required.

Come create, relax, and enjoy good company!
