Create!

  • MCC of Greater Saint Louis (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Too often, it seems, we’re just too busy to stop and play. We’re too stressed to experience the calming nature of creating something with our own hands or to finally finish that project started a while ago! It’s time to indulge our creative spirit.

Let’s come together weekly and enjoy a leisurely Saturday morning where we work on our favorite projects, encourage others in their crafts, and make new friends in the process. Like the old-fashioned sewing circle, this will be a great time to create cool things, work on whatever creative project we have going, color, scrapbook, mend, knit... and connect with each other about all kinds of things going on in our lives.
