Step into the Grantham estate, where polished manners and perfect etiquette do their best to hide the deliciously messy secrets simmering beneath the surface. The Crawleys, their staff, and a lively cast of townsfolk are gathering for what should be a perfectly proper evening—though we both know how quickly propriety can unravel. Whether you mingle boldly or lurk charmingly in the background, you may find yourself swept into a mystery no one planned for. Join us July 18 for an evening of mischief, intrigue, and delightfully unexpected turns at the Grantham estate.

Heartland Center for Spirituality, will be hosting a series of workshops inviting participants to step into the world of Vincent van Gogh—an artist whose canvases pulse with longing, beauty, struggle, and the search for the divine. Through guided reflection on some of his most iconic paintings, we will explore how color, light, and movement become windows into the spiritual life and mirrors of our own journey with Christ. As Van Gogh transformed ordinary fields, starry skies, and humble interiors into revelations of grace, we too will learn to see our daily paths illuminated by Christ’s companionship and love.
