Nature Print T-Shirts — Summer Activities for Children and Youth (23 July 2023)

During the summer, our children and youth participate in various fun artistic and creative activities.

On this Sunday (23 July 2023), our children and youth will collect natural items on a brief walk outdoors, then use them to make creative bleach print t-shirts with Ash McLain.

Kids should bring a black or dark colored t-shirt for best effect.  We will have a few extra shirts on hand but bringing their own shirt insures that they will get the size and style they want.

Come check out this artistic activity after the worship service.
