This Weekend: Art for a Cause
Saturday and Sunday, 10AM-4PM
Art for A Cause is a unique and high-quality boutique art show that is special in that the participating artists have pledged a percentage of their sales to give back to two important charities: SparkHope Automotive and International Justice Mission.
The Presbyterians help support the artists with some advertising cost and by providing a lovely, warm, indoor show space in the church annex. Expect to see fine art paintings and sculpture, as well as fine crafts, including woodworking, weaving, glass, jewelry and pottery. The public is invited to support our local artists and to “buy local” for your holiday needs.
For details contact Tricia Bass @ tbass.art@hotmail.com or 303-808-1770
Join us and shop local for your upcoming holiday season.

First Presbyterian Church of Golden

Pool rooms and card rooms are not permitted to operate, and loafing will not be permitted in any cigar store or in other places where people have been wont to congregate.
