Crafts
Crafts can be a way to get to know people and to encourage people. Who would've guessed that making cards from paper could be a part of ministry?! I've always enjoyed making cards and other things from rubber stamps, stickers, and cool paper. I've found that here, people are a lot more likely to come to an event if they receive a personal invitation. So, to get to know my college girls (from small group) better, we are going to go to a new cafe together this thursday. I decided to make invitations, as it is more personal and easier to remember than intiving by work of mouth. We'll see how the turn out is on thursday! But the girls did seem happy to receive invitations that were hand made and personal! Here are the invitations before actually writing the event, location, date, etc.

Rose makes really neat earrings, and had a once a week class on making earrings for college girls at Global Grounds. There wasn't a big turnout, but this is something that girls are interested in (EVERYONE wears earrings here all the time!), and Rose used it as a way to get to know girls in a casual setting.
