Arts & Cards
New from the Shalom Groups Network
Introducing our range of Arts & Cards
Introducing our range of Arts & Cards
The Shalom network is full of creative and artist people.
To encourage and enable these artists to see their work in the public domain, and to raise some funds to enable the ministry to contine, we are developing a range of Arts & Cards for sale to the general public.
To help start this up some people within the network have donated pictures of paintings, photographs, art, and the finance to have them printed onto A6 cards.
They are £2 each or 6 cards for £10.
Currently they are available at:
The Christian Adventure Centre in Viney Hill
St. James, Bream
Coleford Baptist Church, Coleford
Would you or your Church be willing to be involved in this initiative and host a selection of cards for sale?
