April 2 - Feasting on Poetry and Music - Kathy McKay and Rachel Marsh-Sachs

Come hear poems read by members of our community, some originals, some favorites. Along with music, these will refresh your soul for April, which is National Poetry Month. Afterward, we'll have a literal feast of potluck offerings, as well as delicious conversation. Feel free to bring a dish to share. And please bring/invite a friend for this morning of fellowship and friendship!
