OCTOBER 1

In the unplugged and unheated historic Old West Church, its wavy-paned, divided-light windows illuminate the space while those in attendance bring their energy and warmth to the interior. This jewel of a place allows listeners to truly tune in with the spoken word and reconnect with community in an uninterrupted and thoughtful atmosphere. It’s a rare gift these days, but it’s one that this old meetinghouse has been giving for very nearly 200 years now.
