Risk Restaurant

     Each Thursday afternoon at 3:30 p.m., SUMC hosts a needlecraft group where crafters gather for ideas, instruction, inspiration, and      fellowship.  Skills range from beginners to experts in a variety of craft areas.  

   The group always welcomes new participants–people drop in and out as their schedules permit.  Please join us for a great time.          Note: we do not meet on the fourth Thursday of the month (smorgasbord).

Once again this past summer, Vacation Bible School was held on Tuesday mornings for six weeks during July and August–Tuesdays Together.  The theme for summer 2011 was children’s storybooks.  Approximately 24 children participated over the course of the six weeks.  Craft activities, which were tied to the week’s story included painting ceramic turtles and making bead bookmarks.  A special project was constructing bird feeders.  The feeders were prepared and made ready for the children by Randall Roose from wood donated by Helen Thrush from Art Thrush’s woodworking supplies.  Pictures from this year’s activities may be viewed by clicking on the link below.
