Ladies, get your ticket today and get ready to step into YOUR new beginning!

Are you ready to be renewed and released from the bondage of lack of confidence and self-esteem?

Heal & transform your heart and mind through Christ

Overcome insecurities

Stop comparing yourself to other women

Crush negative self-talk

Improve self-esteem through Christ

Reboot your confidence through Christ

Overcome worry & doubt

Legends of Country Rock: Firefall & Pure Prairie League @ Chambers Creek Regional Park
Tickets
Aug 11 @ 7:00 pm

The genealogy and musical roots of Firefall run deep in the fertile soil of American Folk/Rock music. Defying industry labels, they melded country, folk, easy listening and rock ‘n’ roll, creating a sound uniquely their own, helping to define a generation and forever changing the landscape of contemporary music. One of the few surviving bands of their genre, Firefall has remained true to the founding vision throughout the band’s 30 year history. Firefall saturated the air waves with a string of Top 20 hits, earning two platinum and three gold records for their efforts. Their dynamic live performances gained them a huge and loyal fan base – one that continues to grow even now. In their current live shows, the band both nurtures and expands on their distinctive melodic sound.

Country rockers Pure Prairie League took their name from an obscure 19th century Temperance Union mentioned in the 1939 film, “Dodge City.” But this distinctly American band, with it’s 50 year career and long line of top hits, escaped obscurity long ago. Although fan favorites right out of the gate, it took a number of years before PPL, formed by vocalist/guitar player Craig Fuller, had their first hit. They couldn’t have picked a better way to start, and “AIMEE” not only put PPL on the map, but went on to become perhaps the most well known and beloved country rock song of all time. Whether they are “Pickin To Beat The Devil,” or taking you riding down a “Two Lane Highway,” PPL is a sure fire good evening out.

Notes from Purgatory: Menopause Journaling Workshop @ Lauda
Tickets
Aug 12 @ 2:30 pm – 4:00 pm

Sasha Davies, author of The Menopause Companion, will lead this in-person, small-group workshop.

Through a mix of creative prompts and small group discussion, we’ll write and/or draw our way toward understanding who we are as our bodies change and who we hope to become.
Open to anyone contemplating or experiencing their transition to menopause. You don’t have to be a “writer” or an “artist” to attend! We will not be evaluating each other’s work.

Cost: Workshop only: $15 | Workshop + Copy of The Menopause Companion: $30

p.s. If you’ve not been yet, you’re going to LOVE Lauda. Plan on coming early or staying late to shop a little. It’s the most delightful stationery shop around–pens, journals, cards, watercolors!!!–they have all of my favorite things.
