SUMMARY:Art Show Opening Reception: September 22
DESCRIPTION:PASSAGES: Paintings by Marilyn Downs \nThe First Parish Art Team is hosting a show of paintings by Marilyn Downs from September 22 – November 15\, 2024 in the parlor.

SUMMARY:Journey Inward through Meditation and Creativity
DESCRIPTION:A Journey Inward – A creative meditation through mask making. \nJoin us on Sunday\, March 3 from 2:00 – 3:30 for a creative journey inward through meditation and mask making. \nSpace is limited; please register via Realm at this link by Friday\, March 1. \nAny questions\, or if you would like to register but do not have a Realm account\, email Lyn Fulton-John at star@firstparish.info \nFull description: What’s behind the mask? While they are often used to protect or obscure\, they can also be used to reveal\, enhance\, and embellish. Through guided meditation\, participants will have an opportunity to think about something about themselves that they might like to bring into focus. We will have the chance to use and play with different artistic media\, such as colored tissue\, paint\, bits of jewelry\, and much more\, to create the masks we wish to explore. \n(Materials will be provided\, but feel free to bring whatever you may like to use for making your own mask!)
