EARTHDANCE FARM in Ferguson 
Saturday, August 28 – A few spots remain!

Carpool from church at 7:30am or meet us at EDF for our 8am-Noon volunteer slot.
The farm is at 233 S Dade Ave, Ferguson, MO 63135.
While we wish this could be truly intergenerational, EarthDance restricts their volunteers to 14 years old and older.
Join us on the farm as we support the mission of EarthDance Farms by caring for the earth and being in awe of what is bursting forth…
Please bring gloves, hat, water. More details will be shared after we hear from the farmers a few days prior to the 28th
**
EarthDance is a teaching farm, sharing the craft and science of organic farming with people from all walks of life. Our 14-acre historic farm provides a model of sustainable food production. Through our Organic Farm School programs, EarthDance cultivates food leaders alongside abundant fresh produce.
Mission: EarthDance grows food, farmers, and community through hands-on education and delicious experiences.

Parkway UCC Night at the Muny
Friday, August 27 | 8:00 – 10:pm | Muny Theater, Forest Park
Join us for a night at the Muny to see the debut of On Your Feet!
Discounted tickets are $13.50 per person. No backstage tours available this year. Great new show and fun night for all.
Based on the inspiring true story of the queen of Latin pop, Gloria Estefan and her husband, Emilio, On Your Feet! is a universal sensation that shows what can happen when two people believe in their talent, music and one another. Their moving rags-to-riches story features some of the most chart-topping songs of the past quarter-century, including Rhythm is Gonna Get You, 1-2-3, Coming Out of the Dark and the title hit, Get On Your Feet. With this Muny premiere, audiences will leave ready to Conga!
