THE MAKER'S SPACE
This season we will be once again using ancient spiritual discipline practices along with art to slow ourselves and allow space to speak with and hear from God.
Come and allow yourself to breathe and listen to what God has to say to you as we praise Him exploring word art as demonstrated in Heather Holdsworth's new book "Landscape of Hope: an Illustrated Journey Into the Psalms.” We will meet in Munson Hall on Sunday, Oct. 8, from 5-7pm.
All are welcome and free to bring neighbors and friends.
Please RSVP to 2013themakersspace@gmail.com so we have enough supplies.
