Over the course of the 2019 Daily Meditations, Richard Rohr mines the depths of his Christian tradition through his Franciscan and contemplative lens. Each week builds on previous topics, but you can join at any time! The mediations are short, easy to understand and relevant, with this year's theme being "Old and New: An Evolving Faith." Enjoy!

Typical tasks needing volunteers include:
- coordinating the advertising for the exhibit
- receiving the artwork
- 'curating' the artwork (sorting them...deciding which pieces go together)
- hanging the artwork
- organizing the Vernissage (arranging munchies & wine)
- sitting shifts during the show
- helping with the take-down of the artworks
