Children's Painting Party and Art Auction

This Advent several of our local churches got together to make art to help our neighbor. My church hosted a painting party and children and youth were invited to create art based on biblical texts. Each child was given a canvas and told to reflect on one of the passages. Every painting was different and wonderful.

The silent auction was held on Thanksgiving Eve prior to a community service. This, too was an event and a positive experience for the children and youth who participated. We raised $600. to benefit a local emergency services agency.
