It seems everywhere you look, people are taking sides and calling names. How can we learn to find common ground? On Saturday, July 21 at 7 p.m., the groundbreaking vocal group The Ripple Effect presents “If You Knew Me, You’d Love Me,” an afternoon/evening of music and words designed to build understanding. Uplifting songs of unity and inspiration will be interwoven with speakers from the community who will share personal stories of feeling misunderstood in our society today. The event takes place at Peace United Church of Christ.

You’ll hear a wide variety of great songs delivered by the choir with plenty of style—everything from Broadway and R&B to pop and psychedelic soul funk. You will also hear words spoken from the heart. Their stories will help us reach a fuller understanding of each other.
