Crafts benefit one’s mind, body and soul. When immersed in creating art, your mind can break away from pressing or distracting thoughts and focus on a task. This creates a meditative state where concerns are momentarily forgotten, lowering stress levels and creating mental clarity. Mt. Olive Baptist Church recently hosted a women's Coffee and Crafts event. As women sipped on some tasty coffee and snacked from a charcuterie board, they painted wooden pumpkins. Some of the women painted their pumpkins in gorgeous fall colors and unique pinks and blues. The event was enjoyed by all who attended.
