On October 12, the Adventist church in A Coruña hosted a day filled with fellowship and inspiration: a Christmas card-making workshop featuring felt crafts. The church’s Women’s Ministries organized this educational and fellowship-building initiative. About ten women learned to make handmade cards for the upcoming Christmas season, an activity designed to strengthen relationships.
A DAY OF LEARNING AND SHARING
About ten women gathered for several hours to learn and share in a warm, sisterly atmosphere. Instructor Bego Guerrero led, planned, and taught the workshop, helping participants develop new practical skills. Throughout the day, they learned and applied the techniques needed to create their cards using felt as the primary material:
Designing patterns.
Choosing color combinations.
Cutting and assembling the pieces.
Creating detailed festive designs.
THE VALUE OF GIVING SOMETHING HANDMADE
This workshop is part of an annual program aimed at fostering and strengthening fellowship among women through group crafting activities. Beyond learning technical skills, these activities also emphasize the deeper meaning of giving handmade gifts to loved ones.
During the session, participants were reminded that giving a handmade gift means offering something truly unique that cannot be purchased in a store. Each creation is one of a kind, reflecting the time, patience, creativity, effort, and love invested by the person who makes it.
CARDS READY TO SHARE LOVE
The gathering concluded with dozens of completed cards, full of color and texture. They are now ready to be given as gifts, carrying messages of love and affection throughout the upcoming holiday season. In this way, the department achieved its goal: equipping participants with a creative skill while also providing a valuable opportunity to build connections and strengthen fellowship.
UPCOMING EVENTS
At the conclusion of the workshop, Women’s Ministries invited participants to attend the following upcoming events:
November: A workshop on making placemats and table runners, decorative pieces perfect for beautifying the table at family gatherings.
Christmas Cooking Class: Participants will prepare delicious vegetarian dishes to surprise family and friends with new and unexpected flavors.
