SUMMARY:Mr. Mike's Music - Mixed Ages Classes (0-5 Years) 2026
DESCRIPTION:from  May 6 to June 24  @  6:00 pm - 8:00 pmRegister HereEach week in Music Together® Mixed-Age Classes your babies\, toddlers\, preschoolers\, and the grownups who love them® gather for 45 minutes of fun-filled family music time. Your teacher will lead you and the other families in music activities ranging from lullabies to full-on jam sessions (with child-friendly instruments\, of course). It’s so much fun you won’t realize how much learning is taking place! \nYou’ll take home the award-winning music used in class\, along with an illustrated songbook and other resources. As you discover new ways to play with music all week long\, you’ll support your child’s music learning and overall development—even if you don’t think of yourself as a great singer or dancer. \nWhy Mixed Ages? \nChild development researchers discovered that grouping children of different ages in one class encourages natural\, family-style learning\, so Music Together developed the Mixed-Age Music Class. In this group music class in Washington\, DC\, everyone participates at their own levels: babies vocalize\, listen\, and observe; toddlers play and experiment; and preschoolers build confidence as they emerge as classroom leaders. Grownups are happy because everyone can come to class together. \n“My husband teases me because whenever I mention Music Together to anyone\, he always pipes up my next line which is ‘best money we ever spent.’ I truly mean it. Kudos to Ken and Lili for a program that outshines any other I have seen around.” —Kim\, Princeton\, NJ \nhttps://mistermikesmusic.com/classes.aspx?sem=51790#tabs \n \nmr

SUMMARY:The Rise of Christian Nationalism: Film Screening and Panel Discussion with Former Church Members Featured in the Film
DESCRIPTION:from  May 6 to June 24  @  6:00 pm - 8:00 pmRegister HereScreening Courtesy of CNN \nIn this CNN documentary\, which first aired on CNN March 22\, Pamela Brown examines the growing influence of Christian nationalism in American society; exploring how a movement once largely confined to the margins of white evangelical culture has gained new visibility and political power. \nCNN Chief Investigative Correspondent Pamela Brown examines the growing influence of Christian nationalism\, an ideology rooted in the belief that the United States was founded as a Christian nation and that its laws and institutions should reflect Christian values. Through immersive reporting and on-the-ground access\, the film explores how a movement once largely confined to the margins of white evangelical culture has gained new visibility and political power. \n\n“My reporting for this hour began early last year when I visited Moscow\, Idaho to interview Pastor Douglas Wilson. The response to that report was overwhelming and highlighted the need to better understand this movement working to redefine America as a Christian nation in the home\, in a marriage\, in schools and in government\,” said Brown.  “We embedded with a community under Pastor Wilson’s umbrella and spoke to women who have left the church and are now sounding the alarm. No matter where you live or what you believe\, what we learned is especially consequential at this moment.” \nIn “The Rise of Christian Nationalism\,” Brown travels to faith-centered communities where Christian nationalist ideas shape daily life\, education\, and governance. She sits down with prominent religious leaders who have helped build networks of churches and schools designed to instill a strict\, literal interpretation of the Bible. She also speaks with women who are former church members\, sharing accounts of religious trauma\, rigid gender roles\, and in some cases\, abuse within Christian nationalist communities. \n \nFeatured panelists\, all of whom appear in the film\, are: \n\nMargaret Bronson was raised in a theonomist cult in Southeastern Pennsylvania. She escaped at 19 and now lives with her husband and 4 children and has dedicated her life to helping others escape their cults. She is a co-founder of DeconstructionDoulas.com\, a peer support network that helps people leave high-control religious communities and supports those who have escaped.\nKatie Jennings was raised in the “shiny happy people” cult of IBLP (Institute of Basic Life Principles) in central Texas. She married young and was a trad-wife for 15 years\, homeschooling 6 kids and living as a missionary and pastor’s wife in a reformed Christian denomination overseas. Katie was forced to deconstruct when the systems that promised to protect her failed to do so\, and she has spent the last few years working hard to find the path to healing for herself and her family.\nAbi Bechard is the oldest of 10 children and a homeschool alumna. Her deconstruction from the CREC (Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches) began in earnest after abuse was discovered in her family of origin and her body and mind broke down in motherhood. Now she owns a local third space and is passionate about healing through communal embodiment.\n\nAll are survivors of evangelical/fundamentalist sects. In an evangelical/fundamentalist context\, “survivor” can mean any number of things. In this context\, we use the word “survivor” to refer to anyone who has left a religious/spiritual context in which they experienced spiritual\, emotional\, sexual\, psychological\, and/or corporal abuse. Many fundamentalist sects\, especially\, teach corporal punishment and complementarianism (ie strict gender roles that includes male supremacy/control) as a spiritual mandate. These teachings often lead to domestic violence (DV) and intimate partner violence. Paired with a high-control and deeply authoritarian church leadership structure\, these teachings are particularly dangerous and often ignored completely within fundamentalist and evangelical Christian traditions. LifeWay Research — a leading evangelical research firm measuring needs in the church and culture — in its own 2014 study found 74% of pastors underestimate DV in their congregations\, 42% rarely or never speak about it\, and 62% provide couples counseling to DV victims – a practice DV experts consider dangerous or potentially lethal.
