Focus on Color
Coloring books are incredibly simple,
portable, easy to pick up and put down
and a colored–in page takes up almost
no space at all. So come to the Arts and
Crafts Room every other Monday at
10:00 am. All you need to bring besides
yourself is your coloring book and uten-
sils to color with. Some of these supplies
are offered for sale in the Blossom Shop.
This has really taken off! Come enjoy
the fellowship.
