Second Wind Pottery Open House

I bet you didn't know there is a cool potter that lives in Yoe, Pa! Jill Pellegrino is her name and she's having her annual Holiday Open House this weekend. See the post card above for dates and hours. It's totally worth a stop by. And maybe pick up a few unique one of a kind gifts for those on your list!

Grace & peace,

Poetry & Prose Getaway


While looking for a weekend getaway, I came across this Poetry and Prose Getaway in Cape May, NJ. It's January 15-18, 2010 and there are many interesting workshops. I love the idea of it being a "writers' getaway." Sounds awesome... Check out the website for more info.

York Art Association

Last night at the studio, Jutta mentioned the fabulous exhibit at York Art Association that happens to run only through Sunday, 11/22. The YAA website is not the greatest so I couldn't find any real info about it, however, I did find that the gallery hours are: Monday-Friday 9am-3pm and Sunday 2pm-4pm. They are closed on Saturday. So, if you are in the mood for looking at some nice art, head over before 4pm on Sunday.

If you interested in the YAA Nov/Dec newsletter, click here.

Enjoy the upcoming weekend!
Grace & peace,

The Studio - Wednesday

This Wednesday, Nov 18 is the artists gathering - the studio. We meet in the coffee bar art gallery from 7-8:30pm. Come into community with artists who love Jesus and desire to see their artistic gifts used to bring Him glory.

At the studio this month, we'll talk about a collaborative art exhibit in our gallery for the month of January. We'll also have thought provoking discussions about the arts and faith. I hope you can join us!

Thursday Pages



Attention Writers and Poets...

This Thursday, 11/12, is the monthly PAGES writers gathering. It begins at 7pm and goes until 8:30pm. We meet in the large conference room that is located across the hall from the church kitchen.

The way PAGES works is we spend the first 30 minutes chatting and connecting as writers, this is where the community is formed. Then at 7:30 we launch into an hour of silent writing. If you have a writing project currently under way, please bring it. If not, we will provide several writing prompts for you to choose from. The objective for that writing hour is to ... write. It's a fabulous time of christian writers practicing their gift all at the same time, in the same room. It's a powerful time and God always shows up. It's awesome.

I hope you can make it! If you have questions, please call deAnn at 717-755-0089 x126 or simply email deAnn.

Until then!

grace & peace,

deAnn Roe
