INTERFAITH STORY CIRCLE: Interfaith Story Circle of the Tri-City Area — Forgiveness: Requesting, Receiving, Giving. Tuesday, September 14, 7:15 — 8:45 pm via Zoom.

A popular local teller, Sandy tells stories about songs and songwriters, personal adventures, historical sagas, and folk tales. He is a winner of the St. Louis Jewish Storytelling Contest, has been featured at various festivals and conferences and at Caffe Lena, Proctors, Tellabration, and Limmd Boston. There is more about him on the website www.tothestory. com. Stories from all faith traditions and cultures will be warmly welcomed. Join us to share your stories (up to 8minutes) related to the theme, or just come to listen. Free and open to the public.
