MANCHESTER, NHBrookside Congregational Church will offer free spiritual art classes led by Amber Nicole Cannan of Unchartered Tutoring, LLC, on Sundays as a part of its childhood and youth Christian Education Program.

“We are delighted to have Amber Nicole working with Brookside and providing such an innovative and fun way to learn,” said Rev. Laura Biddle, Interim Minister, Brookside Congregational Church.  “She is well known in the community as the owner and operator of Unchartered Tutoring, that was a big hit with children and parents particularly during the pandemic and the challenges of remote learning.”
Welcome
Children ages 3 through high school are welcome to join the free, spiritual art classes at Brookside Church on Sundays at 10 a.m.

The program is open to students from 3 years of age through high school.  The program aims to teach students the scripture and spiritual lessons through the medium of art in a way that they can relate to and better understand.

“I’m so thrilled and excited to be joining the community you have built at Brookside Congregational Church,” said Cannan, founder of the afterschool enrichment program. “While Rev. Laura leads the adults in faith lessons, I will be helping the children explore similar themes using art.”

Everyone is welcome to join the free spiritual art classes on Sundays and there is no registration required.  Church begins at 10 a.m. and the art class meets following the children’s story, when the kids will be dismissed to the large fellowship hall below the sanctuary.  Children will be spread out in the large hall and masks are required. Brookside Church is located at 2013 Elm St. in the North End of Manchester.
