Drumming for Healing at Prairiewoods
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Feel the Creator’s rhythm inside you during a drum circle. Join facilitator Sheri Mealhouse (Hawkwoman) at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) on the second and fourth Mondays of each month. In the cosmic experience, drumming touches us at a deep level and brings all creation together as a community. Especially now, when our external and internal worlds can be so polarized, communication that bears witness to creative love is very important. Drumming—and feeling the Creator’s rhythm inside of us—resonates with a variety of people. All racial, economic, denominational and other differences can disappear when a group of people share rhythm. As you prayerfully listen to other drummers in order to make music, the whole group becomes one! These drum circles take place monthly, and you may attend one or all. No experience is necessary. You are welcome to bring your own drum or use one of ours. This drum circle will meet near the pond south of the Center if the weather is nice or in the Art Room during inclement weather. A free-will offering to the facilitator will be accepted. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 2017-08-19 19:00:00 -0500

From Dayton to Dover: What have we learned about evolution and Christian faith?
<p>Almost 80 years after the famous 1925 "Scopes Monkey Trial," the teaching of evolution was once again in the courtroom in Dover, Pennsylvania. What is it about the science of evolution that makes it so difficult for many Christians to come to terms with some of its consequences? This talk places this controversy within a U.S. context, but also shows that resources are available within the Christian tradition for a healthy dialogue between science and faith, even with some of the difficult problems raised by evolution.</p><p><strong>Dr. Matthew Ashley </strong>| Associate Professor of Systematic Theology, University of Notre Dame</p><p>This event is a part of the 2019 Spring Lecture Series, Faith/Reason/Science: Friends or Foes?</p><p>More Info: https://www.mtmercy.edu/faith-reason</p>3/28/197:00 p.m.Mount Mercy University, Chapel of MercyCedar Rapids -

Gravestone Photography
<p>Photography is an excellent way to document an ancestor’s resting place as part of their life’s story. However, factors such as gravestone condition, time of day, and cloud cover are just a few things that can reduce the quality and clarity of your photos. This class will provide you with tips on how to take quality photographs of gravestones-even under less than ideal conditions. Individuals doing genealogical research and those photographing headstones for “Find a Grave” and other online cemetery websites will find this class very helpful. A “hands-on” session will be held at a local cemetery to practice the information covered in class.</p><p><strong>Please read: </strong><span> </span>Please bring your own digital camera, or smartphone with camera feature, to clas</p> 2019-03-07 21:00:00 -06003/25/196:00 p.m.Kirkwood Regional CenterCoralville -
