Please join us for the following event!
The Art Table is an informal gathering of folks interested in supporting one another in being creative for creativity's sake as an act of rest, relationship-building, and resistance! This 8 week experiment is for anyone! Though we imagine this as adults only, bring your kids if you need to! Attendance every week is not necessary or expected. Grab dinner, a drink, or a snack to enjoy if you like. Some of the leaders will be eating there, and others will just get a drink. Arrive when you are able and stay as long as you want. Do you long for a meeting*** that is a place to come rest and laugh and create for creating's sake? Do you need a scheduled meeting in order to get out of the house occasionally to be with others who are looking for a place to stay grounded during the craziness of all that's going on in our world? Do you need to be reminded that our world is crazy, and that we are not crazy in thinking a better world is possible? Do you have unfinished craft projects sitting around that you would love to pick up and work on? This is the group for you!
Bring your painting, crochet, embroidery, crayons, or whatever you'd like to work on (we'll also have some coloring and other projects available for you to work on if you need something to work on). No art skill required--the goal is to create and NOT to necessarily create masterpieces. There's no agenda for these gatherings other than to introduce oneself briefly to each other and be together. Want to block out the world while you craft, bring your headphones. Make these gatherings what you'd like them to be. We are giving you permission to come and rest and create (or take a nap sitting at the table--we'll wake you up before Panera closes!). There's no expectation that any art will be finished or even be good... it's truly creating for creation sake and a chance to do it for free together with others who are of similar mind.
This is organized by The Table Moravian Church, a progressive faith community in Wake County, but folx of any faith or no faith are welcome! This will not be a place where faith is the focus--it's truly just a place to come BE. RSVPs are not required, but having an estimate is helpful to know how large of a table to grab, so we invite you to sign up below. Questions: Contact Pastor Elizabeth Yarbrough Neely and Pastor Suzanne Parker Miller at 919-249-8531
