Creative, Hands-On Art Adventures

A HUGE thank you to our 33 wonderful Joy in Learning volunteers who provided breakfast or worked alongside 44 refugee middle schoolers and 14 adults who traveled from South Nashville to Westminster June 15-18 from 9:30 a.m. to Noon. Everyone enjoyed homemade egg casseroles, pastries, granola, yogurt, and fruit every morning!

The Nations Ministry students rotated through a fabulous array of crafts which included pottery, pom pom, painting, and a STEM and mosaic class throughout the four days. Take a peek at the banners in our church hallway!
