Brigid’s Place presents Her Story is Our Story – #iammarymagdalene. Tuesday, June 23, 7pm-9pm.
Brigid’s Place invites you to an evening of sharing our stories.
This will be an evening full of prose, photography, music, wonder, delight, depth, truth, love, and the story of Mary Magdalene. We are all a part of Mary Magdalene’s story and because this is true we can all share our own stories together.
To help us come to know Mary Magdalene and one another in beautiful ways, our amazing friends will be leading us in an evening of artful storytelling. This is going to be a fabulous night…we sure hope to see your fabulous self there too!
We will have food, drinks, stories, music, and we’re even rolling out the valet service for you…so come on over and share your story with us as we get ready for our Mary Magdalene Festival in July!
This is gonna be great!
