SUMMARY:The Sacred Art Gallery -Art Walk: An Evening with Jordan Ring-Sakabe
DESCRIPTION:May 29th | 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM\nThe Sacred Art Gallery \nJoin us for a vibrant and inspiring evening at the Sacred Art Gallery as we welcome Featured Artist Jordan Ring-Sakabe. \nBased in Saratoga Springs\, Utah\, Jordan is a painter whose work is deeply shaped by his journey from atheism to a profound Christian faith.

Drawing from the rich tradition of Christian oil painting\, his work combines neoclassical portraiture\, luminous color\, and spiritual depth—offering a contemporary revival of timeless themes. \nExperience this vision firsthand during an evening filled with light\, color\, and sound. The gallery will come alive with local artists and artisan vendors\, creating a welcoming atmosphere for collectors\, families\, and the broader community. \nThe night will feature the debut of Jordan’s first collection of icons created using the traditional egg tempera technique\, marking a significant development in his artistic practice. Guests will also have the opportunity to hear directly from the artist as he shares the story behind his work and reflects on the faith that inspires it. \nEnjoy live music\, drinks and desserts\, and take part in a special raffle throughout the evening. \nThis event is free and open to the public. \nWhether you are a collector\, an artist\, or simply seeking an enriching cultural experience\, this evening promises to inspire. \nAll are welcome.

SUMMARY:Emmaus Retreat for Grieving Parents
DESCRIPTION:Marianne Gouveia and Greg Eckerman \nThe Emmaus Ministry for Grieving Parents is a unique ministry that serves the spiritual needs of grieving parents.\nOf all the pains that life can hand us\, arguably the most searing is the loss of a child. During this weekend\, just as Jesus joined his distraught disciples on the road to Emmaus\, we pray for all of our parents and we ask Jesus to join us as we walk the horrendous journey of grieving our loss every day. Emmaus Ministry for Grieving Parents is a unique ministry that serves the spiritual needs of grieving parents whose children of any age have died by any cause\, no matter how long ago. \nWe focus on the promise of eternal life and the rich teachings of our faith to help these terribly broken parents. We ask questions such as: \nWhere is God in my pain? \nWhere is my child right now? \nWhy do I feel abandoned by God? \nHow could God let this happen? \nThe retreat is offered by grieving parents who have lost children of their own. We provide an opportunity for parents to gather in a sacred\, warm\, and compassionate space with others who know their pain. Many parents find peace and comfort\, at least for a time. All faiths are welcome. For additional information\, contact Eric’s Mom\, Marianne Gouveia\, at 602.549.8932. \nFee\, including meals: Single Room $250; Commuter $135 per person. Pre-registration required. \nPlease email Lora at lora@thecasa.org for information on double rooms. \nScholarships available.\nSign Up By Wed\, Jun 3 at 4:00 pm\nhttps://frc.retreatportal.com/calendar/event?programcode=26AER77538

SUMMARY:Popcorn\, Pizza and Peace
DESCRIPTION:Peace Ministry \n“Driving While Black: Race\, Space\, and Mobility”\nMovie Content Advisory Mature themes\, including historical\, archival\, and photographic depictions of violence\, racial slurs\, and discussions of police brutality. It is recommended for older children\, teenagers\, and adults. While not officially rated\, it is appropriate for children ages 13+; PG at the discretion of a parent. \nOur Juneteenth 2026 film is “Driving While Black: Race\, Space\, and Mobility\,” a PBS 2020 documentary. This film by acclaimed historian Dr. Gretchen Sorin and Emmy–winning director Ric Burns chronicles the riveting history and personal experiences of African Americans on the road from the advent of the automobile through the seismic changes of the 1960s and beyond. These experiences are liberating and challenging\, harrowing and inspiring\, deeply revealing and profoundly transforming. \nAlthough a recent colloquial phrase of the 1990s\, “Driving While Black” explores how it is rooted in realities that have been part of the African American experience for hundreds of years and is told in large part through the stories of the men\, women\, and children who lived through it. \nWriter and scholar Herb Boyd says in the film that this “entails so much more than the simply driving while Black. It’s living while Black. It’s sleeping while Black. It’s eating while Black. It’s moving while Black. So\, when we start talking about the restrictions placed on Black movement in this country\, that’s a long history. That goes all the way back to day one. And so\, you have to get to the root of it.” \nThis Popcorn\, Pizza\, and Peace program is offered by the Peace Ministry to recognize Juneteenth\, the original celebration of slaves in Texas being emancipated by the Union army at the conclusion of the Civil War that now extends to the emancipation of all enslaved people and the struggles for equality for African Americans today. Juneteenth is the second of the three annual film events presented by the Peace Ministry each year. \nThe event includes discussion following this two-hour documentary. The doors open at 5 pm\, with food and drink available starting at 5:15 pm. The program begins at 5:45 pm with the film starting at 6 pm. Discussion follows around 8:10 pm. \nBackground on the film’s writer and producers: \nDrawing on a wealth of recent scholarship – and based on and inspired in large part by Gretchen Sorin’s recently published study of the way the automobile and highways transformed African American life across the 20th century (“Driving While Black: African American Travel and the Road to Civil Rights\,” W.W. Norton\, 2020) – the film examines the history of African Americans on the road from the depths of the Depression to the height of the Civil Rights movement and beyond\, exploring along the way the deeply embedded dynamics of race\, space\, and mobility in America during one of the most turbulent and transformative periods in American history. \nSorin\, a Distinguished Professor and Director of the Cooperstown Graduate Program\, started her research more than 20 years ago as an exhibition curator assembling visual records and oral histories of how the automobile provided greater mobility for Black Americans while further exposing them to systemic racism across the country. As she began her book\, she approached Ric Burns to work with her on a film. \nBurns said\, “Nothing is more American than the dream of mobility\, which has throughout our history been accompanied by the reality of racism. Sorin’s research has allowed us to assemble a moving\, visual story that shows the joy and liberation that accompanied the freedom promised by the automobile and the daily struggle for Black Americans to seek their independence in a country that\, to this day\, does not fully acknowledge how systemic racism defines much of our history. \nFee\, includes pizza\, popcorn\, and other light refreshments: $15. Pre-registration required. \nEmail lora@thecasa.org for scholarship information. \nSign Up By Wed\, Jun 17 at 7:00 pm\nhttps://frc.retreatportal.com/calendar/event?programcode=26SCN79056
