Craft and Connect will explore the art of Zentangle, which is a structured drawing method designed to help you relax, focus, and enjoy the creative process. Unlike traditional drawing, Zentangle is based around simple, repetitive patterns called “tangles.” By combining these tangles within a small square shape, you can create intricate, abstract designs. Cost is $10, and please bring a snack to share.

We have many opportunities for donations at FUMCLC. Our collection table outside Paxton Hall is now accepting Community Coffee labels for Kaufman Elementary, jelly and peanut butter for Faith and Friends Food Pantry, mosquito spray and wipes and blessing bags for our Homeless Ministry. Thank you for supporting our local community!
