Craft Your Christmas

What? Jingle Bells in September?

You think it's too soon to see snowflakes in the media center window and a Father Christmas holding a tray of pine and candles, but they're there to remind you it is once again time for Craft Your Christmas!

And we always provide these classes for you so you can be finished with your project by Thanksgiving. This year we hope you'll make a concentrated effort to invite an unchurched friend to come with you. We'll even help you out with your class fee if you do that!

Not a crafter? No good with your hands? No way you'd ever try "to do that"? These classes are designed for beginners like you who want to but have been afraid to try.

Is crafting in your DNA? Love learning something new? These classes will feed your need.

Looking for a way to get that unsaved friend inside our church walls? These classes provide a great opportunity for your friend to meet Christians having fun--yea, a blast--with each other.

Sometimes it takes a baseball game, a concert, or a craft class to lower the defenses of one who thinks they don't "do church" or Christianity is simply another religion and not for them. If you're willing to do whatever it takes to build a bridge to your unsaved friend, consider that your bridge may begin with an invitation to make a beveled glass wind chime together.

Registration will take place on October 14 & 21 in the foyer after worship (fees paid at registration).

Look for brochures all around the church for a listing of classes, fees & times. Fees due at registration.
