We are gearing up for teens at The Den OG! We are going to give you a week to get used to school again, and have Labor Day. We will open September 9 followed by a meal at 6:00 pm! We have some bikes to raffle off again as well!

The Den OG is a safe place for teens to gather after school on Mondays and Wednesdays. We cook, play games, EAT, do laundry (if needed), provide clothes for teens, do art, all kinds of things. If you haven’t checked it out yet, come see us!

Hey kids! Your barn quilt is up! Thank you Julie Lipari with Barn Quilts by Jewels!!!

My church (United Methodist Church of Oak Grove) provides an after school program for the middle and high school students during the school year. For the 2nd year in a row the kids have helped me paint a barn quilt. Last year was a wolf because we are The Den. This year is this gnome for the community garden behind the church.

Meet Cornelius Cobblenose!

He will be barn quilt number 1 on our upcoming trail. Watch for more information on that coming in the Fall.

Happy summer! One of the awesome things we have done at The Den the last two years is a barn quilt. Drawn by Julie Lipari, one of our volunteers, and also the proprietor of Barn Quilts by Jewels, she helps us paint and finish the barn quilt. Last year, she drew an awesome wolf for The Den, and this year she drew an awesome gnome to be displayed at our community garden. Pretty awesome Den kids! Thank you Julie!!!!

It is customary to name these. Welcome Cornelius Cobblenose!
