Adult Coloring Group

2016 Annual Report

Last spring, Cheryl Parks “re-introduced” me to the fun of coloring again.  It was Cheryl’s idea to start an Adult Coloring Group here at Messiah. Through a generous Thrivent Action Team Grant, we were able to acquire all new supplies. We hope to attract folks to join us. On January 20, 2017, Pastor Nancy and I met with a group of folks at Birch Haven North (the Assisted Living facility above Dr. Kreuser’s office).  The group decided to meet every other Friday from 1 – 2PM.  Many good suggestions were received.

Studies have shown that coloring decreases stress and lowers blood pressure.  It is a fun, stimulating, drug-free release from whatever might be pressing on one’s mind.  Who knows what creativity might be unleashed??

We would warmly welcome anyone who’d like to join us…we have something for just about any interest.  Women and men are equally encouraged to come. No experience is needed, you don’t need your own supplies – we’ve got plenty of “stuff”!  Curious?  Please join us at Birch Haven North on February 3 and 17 from 1 – 2PM.

With enough interest, we will meet at Messiah as well.  Questions?  Call Carol @ (715)373-0113.

Thanks, Cheryl, for the great idea!

Respectfully submitted,
Carol Salminen
