Summer Fun for Children and Youth (16 June 2024)
It’s Tie-Dye Sunday in the religious education wing during and after the 11:00 AM worship service.
Children and youth can tie-dye a t-shirt or other 100% cotton item for their Dad, for any special grownup, and for themselves.
We do have some extra, mostly adult size t-shirts they can use, but we recommend they bring one if they can just to get the garment and size that they want.
Kids and adults who want to tie-dye should definitely wear clothes that can handle getting stained with dyes.
These dyes are permanent by design — and though we do have t-shirt smocks they can wear to protect their clothing — we really recommend they wear something that won’t be tragic with a little extra color.
When you get to church please bring your garments down to patio behind the social hall to start them soaking in the soda ash solution that will help the dyes set better.
