The iHeart Community Calendar

Just in time for the holidays, the First Universalist Society of Central Square will be holding a gift-making workshop on Saturday, November 30, from 1 to 3 p.m. In keeping with what is becoming known as Small Business Saturday, participants will be able to create a hand-crafted item suitable for holiday giving, or just to enjoy! Ronna Schindler, local craft artist and head of First U.’s religious education program, will lead the workshop. Ronna has many years of experience using low-cost and everyday materials to create items of purpose and beauty. She has taught numerous workshops and is a favorite instructor of both adults and children. This workshop is open to ages 6 and up (ages 6 to 13 attending with a parent). Workshop participants will be able to choose one or more of the following to create: gemstone tree, painted (mandala) stones, paper beads (jewelry quality). There is a $5 fee for materials; childcare for non-participating children is available at no charge. Attendance is being limited to ensure everyone has a chance to complete their gift, so early registration is encouraged! Register by sending your name & contact information via email to [email protected], or via phone at 315-307-3400 (leave message). The church is located in the village of Central Square near the corner of route 11 and route 49, across from the fire department. Handicapped parking is available on the far side of the building. The First Universalist Society of Central Square (www.centrasquareuu.org) is the only Unitarian-Universalist church in Oswego County and welcomes people of all ethnicities, backgrounds, and beliefs, united in the causes of justice, peace and love.
