Guild Happenings (July 2012)

 

 

"The dandelions and buttercups gild all the lawn: the drowsy bee
stumbles among the clover tops, and summer sweetens all to me."
-James Russel Lowell

 

 

Summer is here and we are in full swing at the Guild!  It's been great to see old friends and make new ones, and to witness the incredible process of people exploring the intersection of art & faith.  We hope your July is going as well as ours, and look forward to having you hear with us in the coming weeks and months.

 

Summer Classes Still Open

July - Aug

Although some classes are full, there is still room in many of them.  If you've been wavering about taking a class or staying with us this summer, now is a great time to register online or give us a call and secure your spot!

 

Music in the Meadow

From Glory to Glory: An Evensummer Celebration

Saturday, August 25 (1 PM)

We invite you to join us for a celebration of the end of our summer season to commemorate our newly remodeled Centrum, which will feature stained glass double doors designed by Guild faculty member Kristen Gilje and constructed by the late Joe Hester.  It will be an opportunity to come togther as a Guild community and see the newly constructed facade, as well as celebrate the beautiful legacy of our good friend Joe.  

 

Cost for the meal is $15/person--please RSVP if you plan to attend so we can prepare accordingly.
