Welcome to the Thankful Rock Garden!

In this time of Covid, when we can not share with each other in person, we have an opportunity to join together in fellowship in fun, new, creative ways. This is a community rock garden where we can reflect on what we are thankful for. Please take a blank rock from the bin, and follow the instructions below, add to our garden of thanks.

Instructions

Do you have a rock you would like to add in our garden? You are welcome to create your own rock or take one of the rocks from here, decorate it here or at home, and add it to our garden!

Here is what you need to make a rock with the supplies we have provided.

1. Take a moment to think of what you are thankful for.

2. Pick a rock from the bin to write or draw on.

3. Using the markers and paint pens provided, draw or write something you are thankful for on one side.

4. ONLY DECORATE ONE SIDE OF THE ROCK!

5. Place your rock in the garden.

Thank you so much for participating!

Be Well and God Bless♥️

Making a rock at home.

Supplies

• A smooth rock with a flat side to write or draw on.

• Soap, water and a sponge to clean your rock with, the rocks at the church have already been washed.

• Permanent markers, paint pens, acrylic paint, paint brushes to decorate the rock.

• Sealant (optional) some type of polyurethane or acrylic seal, this is mainly for using acrylic paint. If you want to get into painting rocks in the future, you want to seal those.

1. Start by finding a smooth rock with a flat surface with enough space to write or draw something on. If you want to find a rock to use, check out our local beaches, like West Meadow and Cedar. You want a rock with at least 2 or 3 inches of space to write or draw on.

2. Clean the rock. Using some soap and water, along with a sponge, wash off your rock. You want to be able to get any hidden dirt off of it, leaving you with the perfect stone to use.

3.  Write or draw something you are thankful for! It could be a family moment, something you learned, something you did, anything you are thankful for this year. Use permanent markers, paint pens, or regular paint and a paint brush.

4. Seal it (optional) if you painted your stone, you should definitely seal it with a top coat of something like polyurethane or acrylic sealer.

5. Bring your stone to the church and place it in the rock garden!
