Ballet Magnificat! Performs Anchored: The Pilgrim Story

Beautifully choreographed by Ballet Magnificat!, Anchored: The Pilgrim Story, inspires audiences today with its portrayal of the courage and faith of the Pilgrims, their perilous crossing, and the friendship that developed with Native Americans. The timing is especially fitting for America’s 250th anniversary, as the Pilgrims’ Mayflower Compact was a governing document that directly influenced the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. Ballet Magnificat! is the nation’s top Christian ballet company, and their faith is shared sincerely. Anchored is a perfect event to invite friends and family to. Presented by FirstLoveWorks

Lifting the Veil

Join Malcolm Guite for a one of a kind gathering with his friends:
Dr. Martin Shaw, Steve Bell, Stephen Crotts, Anna Friedrich, Bruce Herman, Pete Peterson, Joshua Luke Smith, & more!

Malcolm Guite is a celebrated English poet, priest, musician, and storyteller of epic proportions. His body of work serves a personal calling to kindle the imagination for Christ and invite others into the wondrous journey with him.

He has sown this mission into many books exploring religion and the arts, poetry collections, and writings about our favorite British authors. It is Malcolm’s joy to see the life of his words lifted from the page and explored all the more in honest conversation with people the world over.

As Malcolm moves from a focus on imaginative apologetics to primarily writing and reading poetry, he is organizing a celebration of his work. This gathering will invite you to move with him beyond theory and toward practice, beyond simply recognizing beauty and toward creating it.

Creativity in the Wilderness — Hamilton, MA

Dialogue with cellist, composer, and artist-in-context Kendall Ramseur.

Kendall Ramseur, an award-winning cellist, composer, vocalist, and musical storyteller, is the artist in context at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary for the 2026-2027 academic year.

As part of the creative process of composing, Kendall will spend time in dialogue with students, faculty, and community members about wilderness experiences, identity, and the role of creativity within the journey of faith. Moderated by Dr. Wes Vander Lugt, director of the Leighton Ford Inititive in Theology, the Arts, and Gospel Witness at Gordon-Conwell, this informal gathering provides a unique opportunity to participate in honest dialogue and to influence and learn about a major musical composition.
