Saturday, May 17, from 1 to 3 p.m. - Meet local favorite and bestselling author Suzanne Strempek Shea. Suzanne will be talking about and signing copies of her newest book Sundays in America: A Yearlong Road Trip in Search of Christian Faith A spirited, spiritual pilgrimage to different Christian churches for a year of Sundays— from storefronts to mega-churches, from Massachusetts to Maui.
When Pope John Paul II died, Suzanne Strempek Shea, who had turned away from the Catholic Church of her childhood, recognized in his mourners a faith-filled passion that she wanted to recapture. She set out on a yearlong to visit a different church every Sunday for a year—a journey that would take her through the broad spectrum of contemporary Christianity lived in this country, from her New England home to the West Coast, the Deep South, the Midwest, and even to Hawaii.

Beginning with a rousing Baptist Easter service in Harlem, including a sing-along at the Cowboy Church in Colorado's Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame and a multimedia experience at Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church, the largest church in the country, Shea approaches each congregation with the curiosity of a newcomer and with respect for each unique expression of faith. Sundays in America weaves the threads of Christianity in America into a vibrant tapestry, an essential guide for those seeking a new house for their worship, as well as a colorful road trip for the armchair explorer.

Sunday, May 18, from 2 to 4 p.m. - Art reception for Fiber Connections, Recent Work by Dawn Wilson.

The paper quilt series stems from my love of paper and the salvaging process that goes into collecting it. Today’s society has become such a throw away society that most people don’t even think about what they are throwing away. Working in the print industry I am amazed at how much “unusable” paper is tossed. Being socially conscious it has become my duty to “rescue” these gems out of the recycle bin and find a use for them. The paper quilt series is my accumulation of this collecting process and through the creative process giving the materials a new voice.
