Description of Activity
Participants experience wanting to share something they love with others.
As participants enter, invite them to use the art supplies to draw something that gives them such joy that they believe others would surely enjoy it, too—something they would wish to share with as many people as possible.
Involve all participants in clean-up.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.
