RANGELEY – The Church of the Good Shepherd will host a Ukrainian Easter egg decorating workshop at 11 a.m. Sunday, April 10, in the church undercroft, 2614 Main St.
There is no fee and adults and children 10 and up are welcome. The workshop will be led by Pam Ellis. Call or email the church office to register so there will be enough eggs for everyone who attends.
The eggs are decorated using a wax-resist technique and simple tools. Ellis will show samples, give a demonstration, then everyone will have four eggs to practice and create on. Ellis continues this tradition from her mother’s ancestors, the Petrochko family, who came to America from the western part of Ukraine in the early 1900s.
The church is also a place where anyone can spend a few minutes of quiet meditation and offer prayers for Ukraine. The church has set out pamphlets with prayers for inspiration and is also accepting donations for two charities helping during the current crisis – World Central Kitchen and the Ukraine Crisis Response Fund of Episcopal Relief and Development.
It is not necessary to make an appointment before stopping by to offer prayers.
For more information, and to register for the egg decorating workshop, call the parish office at 207-864-3381 or email admin@goodshepherdrangeley.org.
