Shop Offers Community Building Crafts

Christmas handcrafts are now available at Mark's online visual arts shop, Artingle.

The items draw us toward God in the community of one another through simple crafts depicting key symbols and scenes of the holidays. You may receive these black and white images by e-mail as digital files which you can print, color, cut out, fold and use to decorate your home.
Beyond Crafts
It is akin to prayer and meditation when you take time to slow down and create an object full of meaning about the celebration of Christmas. In another way when a group works together on these projects, special conversation occurs, memories are made, fellowship strengthens the bond of love between the participants. The finished objects trigger the memories of the conversations and fellowship as they hang and sit around the house. Then, in coming years, those good experiences can have a rebirth as the creations are brought out of storage for future celebrations.
Lots to Choose From

You may choose between eleven simple projects by Mark: a nativity scene, a Christmas tree, five gift tags, three elegant ornaments and a greeting card. Each one may be printed as many times as desired and colored in infinite ways. Suggestions for variations are included.

All the items may be purchased in one Christmas Celebration Kit at a 40% discount.

Parents and teachers will find welcome activities here for classes and groups. Parties will be enhanced by several activity stations using these projects.
