ART & WRITING CHALLENGE

THE COMMUNITY CHRISTIAN CHILDREN’S CHOIR INVITES CHILDREN K-12 TO “PEACEFUL” CHALLENGE

            Can you draw “peace”?  Can you describe “peace”?  The Community Christian Children’s Choir and the Christian Center for the Arts are challenging area children (Kindergarten – 12^th grade) to express their thoughts and feelings about “peace” by participating in an art and writing challenge. Coordinating this challenge with the Spring Concert Series titled “Center – Peace”, the Choir is wishing to stimulate the minds of children toward Peace and what it means to them.

            Children can submit pieces of art or writing which describes their ideas about peace.  Entries in the Art category can be sketches, paintings, drawings, colorings, etc. Writing entries can be poetry, short stories or essays.  Deadline for entries is April 12, 2008.    All entries need to relate to the “peace” theme and will be judged by professionals that are knowledgeable in the specified arts.  

            “We hope that this challenge will allow children to show Adults and their peers what peace really means and how it should be expressed.  Children of any age group bring a simplicity and purity to the table that we should all learn from.” said Pat Weitz, director of the Community Christian Children’s Choir and Christian Center for the Arts.  

            Entries will be on display at the Millstone Performing Arts Center on Sunday, May 4^th during the Community Christian Choir’s benefit “Center – Peace” concert, a musical performance regarding the peace that comes through a spiritual balance in our lives.   Admission is free. A free will offering will be collected and all proceeds will be donated to “Interfaith Quiet Fund”, a fund to help those in the Millstone community in financial distress.

            Details, size restrictions and entry forms are available on the web at www.ccchoir.com or via e-mail to ccchoir@verizon.net or by calling the office (609) 587-7076.   Entries may be hand delivered to the CCC on Friday, April 11th from 3 – 9 pm or 10 am – 2 pm on Saturday, April 12^th at the Allentown United Methodist Church, 23 Church St., Allentown, NJ   or mailed to:  CCC, P.O.
