An Evening of Music and Stories Honoring the Generations of Stony Point Center At the Penguin Repertory Theatre
What a powerful, inspiring, healing, transformative anniversary weekend we just had! Thank you to everyone who gathered to celebrate 75 years of faith-filled social justice work. Below is a link to the first night’s event, “An Evening of Music and Stories Honoring the Generations of Stony Point Center” held at the Penguin Repertory Theatre. More videos and reflections on the weekend to come!
Watch to hear stories from the people who lived them – our current and past directors or their children – and music from folks whose lives were changed by Stony Point Center. We start with a short video narrated by Margaret Flory about the first fifty years of our work.
Our mission is to nurture a space of inclusion and acceptance so guest groups can confront and transform the brokenness of our shared physical and spiritual world. Today we benefit from all the work, love, hope, and healing done on these grounds to support this mission.
