 &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Whatever art skills you have, it&amp;rsquo;s time tap into your creative self. Join others as we create art as a part of our spiritual journey. We will explore topics of reflection, meditation, spirituality, nature, and purpose. The group will involve a topic, 5-10 minute meditation, an hour of art creating, and end with a group processing. Meet up Wednesdays from 6-8pm in the Art Room on the Second Floor of Bethlehem Church 4100 Lyndale Ave. S. Mpls, beginning February 13th. Nursery is also available for children under 4 years old. Please be on time or enter silently if meditation has begun. Please bring any art materials you prefer (paints, markers, paper, pencils, etc.), if you don&amp;rsquo;t have any, we will have some art materials for you to use. Contact: &lt;a target=&quot;_self&quot; href=&quot;mailto:arijensen@mac.com&quot;&gt;Ari Jensen&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a target=&quot;_self&quot; href=&quot;mailto:jlbruehling@hotmail.com&quot;&gt;Jessi Bruehling&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
