Bring a blanket or a chair and enjoy patriotic-themed concerts on the front lawn. Listen to 18th-century music and hear stories from General George Washington, the Marquis de Lafayette, and Baron von Steuben at the Three Mile Run Church.

Let's meet each other and learn what we are working on in our faith communities! What issues are inspiring us? What challenges are we facing? How can we create a faith-fueled network of Earth care where we live?

Let's build solidarity and community resilience together at this gathering. Refreshments will be served.

Find Your Line & Live your Color-Alli Tonnesen

Participants will dive into ink and watercolor with total creative freedom. Draw what you know, draw what you dream, draw something you can't even explain yet. Learn techniques while leaving plenty of room for happy accidents, weird ideas, and whatever shows up when you stop overthinking it. This workshop is equal parts art lesson and creative playground. Come ready to experiment, make a mess, and leave with something that's completely, unapologetically yours. No experience necessary, just curiosity and a willingness to see where the pen takes you.
