in an attempt to move his flock into the "modern world," has invited the Sanders FamilySingers to the church's first ever Saturday Night Sing. You'll laugh till you cry, and then shed a tear or two as Burl and Vera and their three children and Burl's blacksheep brother, Stanley, share their stories and songs with you. They'll delight you with some of the best old time gospel tunes ever written as they sing and play their way through the evening. Your feet will start to tappin', your hands will start to clappin', and you'll just have to sing along.

Remembrance, Curated by Julie Gutmann and Donna Miller.
This BookMarks reading, entitled "Remembrance," presents poems and essays by authors from our community whose writings capture moments of loss, connection and celebration. These writers cover a range of topics, from the love and grief of parent-child relationships to a doctor's meditations on life and death as he drives along a familiar road. Some record survivor experiences that only find voice in the next generation's commitment to bearing witness. Others evoke weather lore, connections to land, identity in garments, knitting for future generations, remembrance of an unusual dog, and the naming of a farm. Come to discover and record your own personal remembrances through journaling and interactive audience response during this special evening of shared memoir performance.
