Imagine rooms full of people from many faiths — sharing food, conversation, and fellowship — reflecting together on what makes this country worth celebrating. WIVEC is hosting community gatherings this May and June, leading up to July 4th, where neighbors read and discuss America's most inspiring founding words. It's a once-in-a-generation chance to counter division and build unity together.
You are invited to join the conversation in-person in Milwaukee or Appleton or virtually via Zoom. Each gathering will focus on one or two texts and will offer the opportunity for fellowship and dialogue. Join your community to gather, learn, and reflect!
