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 -

'When I Get to Heaven, I'm Gonna Jump and Shout:' Female Artists and the Life-Changing Song "Oh Happy Day:"' Deborah Smith Pollard to give Luther College Sihler Lecture March 19
<p>Luther College presents its 2019 Sihler Memorial Lecture featuring guest speaker Deborah Smith Pollard, University of Michigan-Dearborn Professor of English Literature and Humanities. Focusing on iconic performances of the gospel music standard "O Happy Day" by female performers, Pollard will give her lecture titled, "When I Get to Heaven, I'm Gonna Jump and Shout:' Female Artists and the Life-Changing Song 'Oh Happy Day.'" </p><p>The lecture, which is part of the commemorations for the 50th anniversary of the Black Student Union at Luther College, will take place at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 19, in the Recital Hall of the Center for Faith and Life on the Luther campus.</p><p>In 1968, the Northern California State Choir recorded the album "Let Us Go into the House of the Lord" with plans to sell 500 copies at local churches. However, the cut “O Happy Day,” an arrangement of the 18th century hymn, gained such popularity that it was released internationally in 1969; with sales of over seven million copies, it remains the biggest-selling gospel single in history.</p><p>While many know the name of choir director and arranger Edwin Hawkins, few know that several female artists contributed to, built upon or were inspired by the song. This lecture’s focus will be on such significant performers as: the original lead singer, Dorothy Combs Morrison, whose vocal range and quality as well as her lyrical additions were a major part of the song’s success; Tramaine Hawkins, a member of the choir in 1968, who became one of the most iconic gospel singers of the last half century; and Vickie Mack Lataillade who was so captivated by Hawkins’ contemporary gospel sound that she founded Gospo Centric Records and signed such chart-topping artists as Kirk Franklin and Trin-I-Tee 5:7. </p><p>Other women whose careers are connected to this song in some way include folk singer/activist Joan Baez, gospel legend Dorothy Norwood, and international Evangelist Gwendolyn Reid.</p><p>The lecture will examine the extent to which these women expanded the popularity of the song "O Happy Day" and challenged the prevailing boundaries regarding who can perform gospel music and where it can be performed, as well as how one should look and sound while doing so.</p><p>As a professor at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, Pollard teaches in the areas of English, African-American studies and women and gender studies. Besides her courses in English literature and African American culture, she teaches a popular introduction to gospel music course every fall. In 2010, she was awarded the Susan B. Anthony Award by University of Michigan-Dearborn, an honor bestowed on someone who exemplifies Susan B. Anthony's strength, dedication and political agitation on behalf of women.</p><p>Pollard received her bachelor's degree from Michigan State University, her master's from Wayne State University and her doctoral degree from Michigan State University.</p><p>She has hosted and produced a contemporary gospel music radio program on Sunday mornings for three decades titled "Rhythm and Praise with Deborah Smith Pollard" on MIX 92.3 FM WMXD. In 2006, Pollard won Gospel Announcer of the Year at the Stellar Awards.</p><p>Pollard's research is in the areas of African-American identity and literature and African-American sacred music, especially gospel music. In her 2008 book "Contemporary Gospel Music: When the Church Becomes Your Party," she examines the use of gospel music within several of Detroit's churches and in the larger community. She appeared on American Voices: Gospel Master Session with Kim Burrell, hosted at the Kennedy Center. She has also recently been featured on NPR's World Café podcast episode about Aretha Franklin.</p><p>The lecture is sponsored by the Sihler Family Endowment, which funds lectures with an emphasis on women in church music. The event is cosponsored by the Luther Women and Gender Studies Department and the Luther Music Department.</p><p>A national liberal arts college with an enrollment of 2,005, Luther offers an academic curriculum that leads to the Bachelor of Arts degree in more than 60 majors and pre-professional programs. For more information about Luther visit the college's website: <a href="https://www.luther.edu/">http://www.luther.edu</a>.</p> 2019-03-06 21:00:00 -0600

Brucemore Mansion Tours
<p>A visit to Brucemore explores more than 130 years of Eastern Iowa history through the lives of the three families who called Brucemore home—the Sinclairs, the Douglases, and the Halls. They were business and community leaders during a century of evolution in the Midwest. The changes they made to their estate, the impact they had on their community, and the stories they left behind shape our understanding of modern Cedar Rapids, eastern Iowa, and the American Midwest.</p><p><br></p><p>Mansion tours are offered March through December, Wednesday through Sunday. Inquire for times within the general visiting hours. Tickets can be purchased online, over the phone, or in the visitor center. Advance ticket purchase is recommended as tours sell-out, especially during periods of high demand. Admission fees vary by tour selection, season, and ticket type. </p> 2019-03-20 15:15:00 -0500
