Mother's Day Arts and Crafts Show 2005

Several kids showed up at the New Utrecht Reformed Church Parish House to make bracelets and bookmarks for the Mother's Day Arts and Crafts Show, which took place on Sunday, April 24. Suzanne Carrion coordinated the event. The arts and crafts show is one of several events for kids the church holds every year.

Kids and their parents are welcome to the Parish House every Sunday at 11 AM for Children's Church while the sanctuary is closed for repairs.
