irst ARP Burlington hosted a Chick-Fil-A dinner and painting day. They had 25 in attendance of various ages, as young as three. The talent and creativity were fun to watch! Each table was set with a cup of various
sized brushes, a water cup, paper towels and small watercolor booklets with 12 sheets each. Some brought their own brushes, paints, and pens! The goal was simply to fellowship and make a picture or paint/write a Bible verse of encour- agement for our Homebound Members. We had art resulting in landscapes, simple flowers, or nicely written Scriptures. A group of those in attendance filled paper gift bags with donated mini lotions, tissues, candy, and once the pictures dried, the water color pictures. The bags were delivered to the Home- bound Members in groups of 2-6.?
