I'm pretty excited about this weekend at my church. We're known among Central District Mennonite churches for our bi-annual Mennonite Arts Weekend, but this year off we're having a Celebration of the Arts to celebrate our own artists within the church, young and old. Yesterday several of us hung lots of artwork and prepared a boutique. Saturday there will be four workshops, a dinner, and a talent show. Sunday morning's worship will focus on the arts.
It's gratifying in the planning that lots of people seem pretty excited about this, have wanted it for awhile in an off year. I don't know whether this is something we'll do bi-annually or whether this is the first and only, but the support among members has been amazing. It helps that sometimes our church is thought of as the "Arts Church."
The picture at the top has nothing to do with the weekend, it's just a block from a quilt I'm working on. For a baby girl, if you couldn't tell.
Yesterday's "taking the kids to school story." The new dog had chewed on one of Aaron's much-loved brown Merrell shoes, which have seen six months of daily wear. His mom texted me, asking me to tell him that there would be another pair, perhaps in black or blue this time. He was dismayed, afraid that there wouldn't be any available in brown. Like I've said before, the kid is a traditionalist.
