Chrismon Workshop

Do you like crafting? Do you like glitter? Upon inspection of our Chrismons, it has been decided our Chrismons, which most are over 50 years old, need to be replaced. We will be remaking the white Styrofoam ornaments, and we will also be making some beaded Chrismons, as well as some done in cross-stitch. We would love to have anybody who is interested to come help us.  This is a big project, so we will be spending several Sunday afternoons working on this in order to have them finished by Christmas.  We will be working in the Fellowship Hall from 2pm-4pm on the following dates: September 20, September 27, October 11, October 18, November 8, and November 15.  Even if you cannot make it to all of those Sundays, we would love for anyone interested to come help out when you can.  If you have any questions, please contact Lisa Garrison.

*Basic Lay Servant - one that serves only in his/her local church.

*Advanced Lay Servant - serves in his/her church and other local churches as a speaker.

*Lay Minister - serves anywhere in the United Methodist church and can be a fill-in for churches as needed.

(If you would be interested, please see Pastor Jennifer for more details.)
