Learn, Grow and Be Together – Nov. 10, 2026

Art Gallery in Haehnle this month: Featured Artist: Kate Spencer

For the fifth year in a row, she will be displaying her art quilts in the gallery from Nov 7-Jan 3, in a show titled “Light in the Darkness.”

In addition, she will participate in the three boutique Sundays in December (6, 13, 20) offering a variety of smaller items for sale (notably, handmade quilted Christmas ornaments and sturdy canvas tote bags with quilted panels) and miniature quilted panels (under 15″ x 15″) in Christmas designs available for immediate removal.

An Artist’s Reception will be on Saturday, Dec. 5, from 3-5 PM in the fellowship hall, to which any congregation members are welcome.

Here are some examples of her work.

 

 

Tabletop Day, Friday, November 20, from 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. (drop in any time)

A get-together to build up our safe, caring community while engaging in hobbies, including: crossword puzzles, word searches, jigsaw puzzles, crocheting, knitting, drawing, coloring, boardgames and more.

Please think about a tabletop-friendly hobby that you enjoy and bring some items to engage in the hobby either to show others or to interact with them.  You are also welcome to bring food and/or beverage to share.

Also, if you would like to receive a text when there are upcoming gatherings, please text Pete Asman at 513-354-0757 to let him know.
