Harvest & Rust @ Middle Ages Brewery

January 18 | 8:00 pm - 11:00 pm

It’s a challenge for any band to represent the wide-array of Neil Young’s influential material in one show, but that’s exactly what the band HARVEST & RUST does.  Based in Western Massachusetts, the core four members of HARVEST & RUST often augment their show with other well-known local musicians to reproduce every era of Neil Young’s music.  Be it the chart-topping HARVEST material (including Old Man, Heart of Gold, etc.) to the electric explorations of RUST NEVER SLEEPS. This is a ticketed event!

Create your own 2025 Vision Board @ the Communion

January 18, 5:30 pm - 7:00pm

New Year, New You! ✨✨ Our first Vision Board Making For this event we're getting clear on our goals! Let's gather at The Communion for a soul-satisfying session where we'll set some intentions for 2025. This vision board making session is something Cha does at the top of each year, and this time, she's bringing her practice public to share it with the community. If you want to make 2025 your best year yet, you won't want to miss this Sunday School class! We've got the wine magazines covered, but we ask that all attendees bring a few additional magazines along with them - think: professional topics, personal issues, health, etc. All tickets include wine tasting, boards for your vision board and glue!
