MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11 (Veterans' Day holiday), 1–4:30 P.M., Bloedel Hall and around the cathedral campus

Let's gather as a cathedral community for an afternoon of making, exploring, and sharing! Bring your own craft project to work on, or join in one of several activity stations making items to be sold at the Alternative Gift Market. Members of the Quilt Ministry and the Ministry of Worsted Wool (knitting and crochet) will be present, along with artist Sandy Nelson.

Bloedel Kitchen will be available all day for those wishing to make baked goods and other edible gifts. The Cathedral Beekeepers will be harvesting and jarring this year's honey, and volunteers are needed to work the hand-cranked spinner.

The Orgelkids Experience!

From 3 to 4 p.m., there will be a very special opportunity for kids to explore, hands-on, how a real pipe organ works and is put together. Orgelkids is a program that leads kids aged 4 and up through the assembly of an actual kid-sized working pipe organ. Watch a video to see Orgelkids in action here. Adults and teens are needed to help set up and supervise. Total participation is limited, so RSVP is requested—submit the form here.

At 4 p.m., everyone is invited to the nave for a 30-minute demonstration and recital of the organ that the kids have built, alongside our own Mighty Flentrop.
