Central Baptist Holding Final Craft Get-Together

Thu., June 8, 1995

Ward Sanderson Correspondent

If you want to try out all the new skills you learned at Art Fest!, here’s your chance.

Central Baptist Church, 19 W. Shannon, will host a craft day Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., its final craft get-together of the season. The idea is to give artists and artisans alike a chance to show off, and finish, their creations.

“They bring their own projects they’ve been working on,” church spokeswoman Evelyn Baldwin said. “It’s kind of like an old-fashioned sewing bee.”

There’s more than sewing, though. People can work on oil painting, drawing, crochet, pottery - anything.

It’s more than just an art and craft event, too.

“It’s fellowship,” Baldwin said.

Food and conversation are definitely part of the equation. Anyone interested in attending should bring a sack lunch.

Also, there’s still time to sign up for Central Baptist’s Summer Sunday School. It’s not just for children; anyone age 6 to adult is invited.

Described by Baldwin as “activity-oriented,” the classes will merge studying the Bible with walks, drawing, craft fun and discussion.

Classes start June 18 at 9:15 a.m. The session will continue until July 9.

New member brunch

North Hill Christian Church, located at the corner of Post and Wellesley, will have a brunch for new and prospective members on Sunday.

“We have 13 new members joining, but anyone is welcome,” church spokeswoman Darlene Brewer said.

The brunch starts at 11:15 a.m., just after the church’s 10 a.m. worship service.

There’s no charge for the brunch. Brewer said it’s a way to say hello to the new members, and to give anyone who is interested in the church a chance to meet people attending.

Preschool Bible school

First Assembly of God, 828 W. Indiana, is currently accepting registrations for its Preschool Ark Park, a vacation Bible school. The classes are for children age 2 to first grade.

This year’s class theme is “Small World.” The classes are free, and run from June 19 to 22. Sessions last from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.

For more information or to register, call 326-9332.
