Merch Madness is coming!

The giving team wants to make Wildflower Church t-shirts, and we want you to contribute your design ideas.

These shirts will be a way to identify each other at events, show our WIldflower pride, and raise a little bit of money. They will be available to purchase through a print on demand website. We hope this will be just the beginning. This format allows for selling multiple designs, and we hope to add other "merch" to the line up, like bumper stickers.

Originally, we wanted to have an event in March (hence the name) where we all gathered together to work on designs. However, March is packed full of activities already. So instead, we encourage you to work on your designs in March, and we will have a culminating event later on.

Here are the requirements for your design:
- We will be printing on one side of the t-shirt, only.
- Your design should be no larger than 12 inches x 16 inches.
- The digital file size should be no larger than 200 MB, and you should use RGB colors, not CMYK.
-  Both PNG and JPEG file types are accepted, with either no background or a removable background.
- If you make your design on paper, be aware that it will have to be turned into a digital design, and it will look a little different in the end. (Our culminating event will be a great time to seek out members who are good with graphic design to help translate your paper design to the computer.)

If you have questions or want to submit your design before the event, email giving@wildflowerchurch.org. If your design is digital, please attach the file to the email. If it's on paper, please attach a picture of the design to the email, and we will get back to you if we need the paper copy.

Wildflower Church will be holding a Makers Market in June or July!

Nothing is set in stone, but we want to give you a heads up so you can start making things. If you are interested in selling your creations, please fill out the following form. (You aren't committing to anything yet): https://forms.gle/AjaXoXhpmDLLoAyMA

If you want to help plan the event, please email us at giving@wildflowerchurch.org. (Yes, you can help plan *and* be a vendor.) Finally, give us some feedback about what items you would like to see at the market at this link: https://forms.gle/dreixkKXyEeA9geL7

Regional and National Information

Explore Camp Wildflower Roots

Camp Wildflower Roots has reserved space in our Community Room for their Innagural Summer Day Camp for children and youth ages 8-13. Shannon Mercer is a special education teacher and UU living in the area. She and other teachers are launching this camp and describe it as “creating an inclusive, welcoming space where all youth — especially queer youth — feel safe, supported, and free to be themselves. Living in Texas can feel especially hard right now, and kids need affirming community more than ever.” The camp website [https://www.campwildflowerroots.org/] offers a way to register for the camp (June 8-12, 22-26). Shannon would love to have Wildflowers or others we tell about the camp be a part of this experience.
