MOMS NIGHT OUT
Tommy Castro at the Cherry Festival
Tuesday, July 6th
8:00 pm
An amalgamation of blues, rock, funk, soul and world music, Australian
singer/ songwriter "Harper" creates a heady mix of roots music through
his creative use of the harp, and the haunting drone of the didgeridoo.
Borrowing from western and world music, this musical visionary develops a
highly original take on the roots genre.

BOOK CLUB
| "You Should
Read Its Not That Bad"
Book Club
Tuesday, 7/27 6:30pm
In July we are reading Wild At Heart by John Eldredge.
"If Christian men are going to change from a pitiful, wimpy bunch of
"really nice guys" to men who are made in the image of God, they must
reexamine their preconceptions about who God is and recover their true
"wild" hearts, writes bestselling author John Eldredge in Wild at Heart:
Discovering a Life of Passion, Freedom, and Adventure. Eldredge throws
down the gauntlet--men are bored; they fear risk, they refuse to pay
attention to their deepest desires. He challenges Christian men to
return to authentic masculinity without resorting to a "macho man"
mentality."
Read
this month's book and come to discuss the ideas
in the book. This is a friendly and lively
group. Just a fun
way to explore some new ideas and make new
friends.
