Christmas Ornament Painting Party
Saturday, Nov, 4, 10 am
This is a great opportunity to make wonderful gifts and keepsakes for your friends, family, and teachers – not to mention ornaments for the Central Christmas Tree as well as your tree at home! We’ll provide the fun, paint, ornaments, and of course some snacks. It may be messy, so bring an old shirt, apron, or painting smock to protect your clothes. RSVP to Antonia Greco.
CCC Youth: “Piping Hot”
Sunday, Oct. 29, 12 noon
All middle- and high-schoolers are invited for a piping-hot time of food and fun with Patrick Aiken. Meet in the kitchen, where you and Patrick will prepare and assemble his delicious sourdough scones. While they bake, you’ll head to the choir loft for some music and a close-up look at Central’s pipe organ. Then it’s back to the kitchen, where you’ll enjoy the fruits of your labor while discussing music, baking, and life!
