Annual Craft Day

Saturday November 12th 2011

The women of the San Lorenzo Japanese Christian Church would like to invite you to the Annual Women’s Craft Day on Saturday, 12 November 2011, from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.  Registration begins at 9 a.m. with the program beginning at 9:30 a.m.

If you want to make unique and inexpensive gifts for your friends, birthdays, holidays or no reason at all, this is the place to start!  Classes tend to fill up quickly, and registration is first come, first serve.  Due to limited space, there will be no child care provided during the event.  We also ask that participants be 18 years or older.

For those of you who have not experienced our Craft Day, one of the highlights is being treated to a delicious bento lunch followed by a short program and a drawing for door prizes.  This year we will be privileged to hear from Pam Yata who will be sharing with us about her faith in God and the many things the Lord is teaching her. Everyone will have a chance to win one of the many craft items being offered.

Fellowship, crafts, food and fun…what are you waiting for?  There isn’t much time to register.  Deadline for registration is Sunday, 30 October 2011.  Don’t forget to invite your friends.  If you have any questions, please call the church at (510) 483-9455.  We look forward to seeing you soon.

Sincerely yours,
