Library tea and inspiration program
All are invited to share a cuppa and a conversation at the newly resurrected “Tea and Inspiration” program at the Sewickley Public Library. The program welcomes friends and neighbors to gather to read, reflect, and have uplifting conversations based on inspirational quotes from the world’s scriptures and other wise sources. Each month a different theme will be explored.
Sewickley residents Sharon Eakes, Grace Williams and Judith Washington, who coordinate the program, hope to inspire uplifting thought and reflection with the return of Tea and Inspiration, which was halted due to the pandemic. Participants can contribute their reading and reflection or bring a quote to add to the discussion, if they wish.
“Tea and inspiration” will be held on the first Thursday of each month from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Conference Room on the first floor of the library. No registration required.
