Fun for Family, July 15

The second of four Summertime Intergenerational Gatherings will take place on Tuesday, July 15 at the church, an evening of creating “Cape Critters” with Lisa Larrabee. Meet at the church at 6 p.m. for this evening of creation and self-expression. Pizza will be served.

As Lisa explained, “Cape Critters are soft, blank fleece shells, waiting to be brought to life through the love and creativity of each individual artist. Like a blank canvas waiting for an artist’s brush, they are a perfect craft medium to promote self-expression through creativity.”

During the past four years, Lisa has taken her Cape Critters to a number of workshops, classes and fundraisers.

“I truly love to bring this activity to anyone who resonates with it,” Lisa said, “and my intention is to continue to use this craft medium to spread love and goodwill where it is needed in the world.”

Lisa’s willingness to bring her Critters to our summer gathering and share her passion for what they stand for will be an excellent opportunity for our families, friends and individuals of all ages.

“Kids love to make each Critter special and personal,” Lisa said, “and they take great pride in their work. The ‘young at heart’ love them, too, and are encouraged to take part in this special opportunity by helping a small child with a Critter and/or making a Critter of their own. “

And while we are creating Critters with Lisa, pizza will be served for supper.

After Tuesday’s evening with Lisa’s Critters, there will be two more Intergenerational Summertime Gatherings at the church:

On Wednesday, July 23, Natalie and Ann Underdown will lead us for an evening of understanding and appreciating Contemporary Christian Music. Meet at the church at 6 p.m. Pizza will be served.

Our final gathering of the summer will be Wednesday, August 13 for a movie night to see “Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy’s Astounding Story of his Trip to Heaven and Back.” Pizza again will be served for our supper together.

Join us for any or all of this summertime activities and always bring family and friends.
