October 4
in the Fireside Room
What do a Hebrew prophet and a folk singer have in common? More than you’d think! Whether your soundtrack is Woody Guthrie, Bob Marley, Tracy Chapman, Lady Gaga, Bad Bunny, or Common and John Legend, this series is for you. Together we’ll examine protest music across genres and generations in light of scripture and Brethren tradition, tracing a thread from the prophets to the present. What does a faithful protest sound like now? All welcome; no musical background required.

Never Been Camping? We’ve Got You Covered!
Whether you haven’t camped in a while, haven’t camped with kids, or you’ve never pitched a tent in your life, our upcoming camping preparation session is designed with you in mind. Whether you’re joining us on the trip or just want to learn, come with questions and leave with confidence. You don’t need to be an expert camper—you just need to be curious and ready to have fun together.
In preparation for our intergenerational camping adventure October 23-25, we’re hosting a special workshop to help anyone nervous about the experience get comfortable and excited. We’ll walk through everything you need to know about:
- Sleeping smart – from tent setup to staying cozy at night
- Feeding the crew – easy camping meals, cooking and cooler tips
- Creature comforts – the simple items and tricks that make camping comfortable and fun
No experience necessary!
