Don’t miss this unique opportunity to see Jeff Foxworthy! One of the most respected and successful comedians in the country will be in our theater for an intimate event full of laughter.  Best known for the phrase “You might be a redneck if…,” Jeff‘s heart is as big as his talent.  Jeff has traveled to Kenya with Compassion International where he and his family sponsor several children through Compassion’s ministry.  They have also joined with Compassion to build an orphanage in a Nairobi slum.  Jeff has chosen to do this concert in benefit of needy children all over Africa, with all proceeds going to Compassion’s WASH Initiative (Water, Sanitation, Hygiene).  The WASH Initiative aims to reduce waterborne diseases, which kill more young children than AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined.  They say that laughter is the best medicine, use your to help bring healing to a continent in need.

Apr 30    Metamorphosis A Class on Loss, Change, and Growth
 Why Attend?  Change, welcome or unbidden, requires us to adjust, and sometimes that’s challenging. While some seem to gracefully embrace the future, others of us require a different kind of support. It’s common to feel depressed, to withdraw, or to feel anxious. This class will help us make peace with the changes in our lives: When loved ones move or die; when we lose a job or retire; when our income drops; when we move from a beloved home, or other changes such as divorce or separation.
 
Benefits:  Learn how to manage your thoughts and feelings associated with change. This is a safe place to tell the truth about how you feel, e.g, sad, hurt, or afraid. By loving yourself where you are right now, and receiving love from others, a new door opens. You can breathe in a full deep breath. You get present. You can let go of the attachment to the past and embrace your future.
