🎨✨ Art, Stories & Inspiration This Afternoon! ✨🎨

Join us for our monthly meeting today at 1 PM at National Avenue Christian Church!

We’re excited to welcome Ann Kynion as our featured speaker. Ann brings a lifetime of stories, wisdom, and laughter. As an art teacher, her classroom was once her canvas—but after retirement and the loss of loved ones, she found healing and renewal through nature and creating art for herself. 🌿

From the ordinary to the unusual, the flora, fauna, and special places she’s encountered have become the heart of her work. Her journey is a beautiful reminder that getting outside and creating can be powerful for the soul.

📍 National Avenue Christian Church
🕐 1:00 PM – March 10
🚗 Parking is available behind the church

Come connect, get inspired, and enjoy an afternoon of art and community! 🎨💬
