IndyKlez Klezmer Concert/Dance

IndyKlez, a 7-member klezmer band from the Indianapolis area, is coming to Earlham on Sunday, Feb. 5. The free concert/dance begins at 4 pm in Comstock.

Join the others from the Bethany community in the Bethany gathering area as part of the first of a series of conversations titled "WTOTAG", Where Two Or Three Are Gathered. This first discussion will be an opportunity to share our stories with one another. A light meal will be provided.

In order to help us to discuss some of the "big issues" we are facing today in the church and in the world, we must first know where it is we are coming from. Sharing our stories of ourselves in a loving and accepting manner is the best place to start. Come to speak, come to listen, or come to do both! We look forward to having a diverse group with varied stories to tell. All who are able are encouraged to attend.

With all the other questions you will be answering while studying for your finals, here is an opportunity to shift gears and take a break. You can spend all day cooking or just come for a free meal & judging at 5 pm, but either way ...

The time has come to once again answer life's most savory question: Whose Cuisine Reigns Supreme?

Whether you're a seasoned chef or a budding foodie; whether your culinary abilities are borderline-gourmet or microwave-from-a-box, all are welcome to participate. We will need at least 2 teams of 2-4 people each. Each team will receive a list of possible vegetarian-friendly secret ingredients a week before the competition. Competitors will meet at 10 am at Bethany and the Chairperson will reveal the secret ingredient to all. Teams will then have all afternoon to create at least one dish per team member using the theme ingredient. All cooking must be complete and all dishes delivered to the gathering area by 5:00 pm.
