Honeybee and Me

Designed for mothers and their little ones ages 0 to 2, this faith-centered mommy and me class offers a calm, unhurried environment to connect through stories, songs, infant massage, sensory play, movement, and shared moments. Each family receives a keepsake children’s book, and the group revisits the same story over several weeks.

Whether parenting for the first time or caring for another child, participants can find encouragement, friendship, and a warm community where both caregiver and child can flourish. Sessions are led by Stephanie Harris, founder of Cedar and Honey, a licensed massage therapist, certified infant massage instructor, certified birth doula, and certified biblical counselor. Please bring a yoga mat or blanket for comfortable floor time. Class size is intentionally small so every mother and child are known by name, space is limited and registration is required.

LMFA LIVE Concert: Hollis Brown

Part of the LMFA LIVE Concert Series, Hollis Brown brings a set of gritty, rootsy rock with vivid storytelling. The New York bred band has built a reputation through heavy touring across the United States and Europe, sharing bills with Deer Tick, Lucero, and Counting Crows since their debut in 2009. Highlights from their catalog include the Nashville crafted album Ride on the Train and 3 Shots, which features a rare Bo Diddley recording and a collaboration with Nikki Lane. Their work has earned attention through sold out Record Store Day releases, placements on the series Shameless and in major film trailers, and a well regarded Velvet Underground tribute that began with a Lou Reed benefit performance. Signed to Mascot Records, the group released Ozone Park in 2019 and later offered a Rolling Stones cover from their tribute album In the Aftermath. The concert unfolds in a beautifully restored former bank that creates an intimate atmosphere for listeners and performers. Tickets are $30, with advance purchase encouraged, and attendees are welcome to bring their own beverages and snacks.
