On Friday night, March 5th, from 6-9 is Gallery Stroll in downtown Provo. This month, we as a church will feature Childrens’ Art from Dixon Middle School. Light refreshments will be served. Come and enjoy childrens’ artwork! This gives us an opportunity to open our church to the community and to give local artists a chance to showcase their talents. You can help us to that by either helping us with refreshments or help us connect to the arts community even more. For comments and questions please contact Jessica Wilson. Thanks to the students, parents and educators at Dixon for helping us with this wonderful evening!
