This interactive installation features poetry from people on their healing journey after domestic violence paired with artwork by local artists. At each of the 15 stations that are displayed along a scenic walking path, you’ll find conversation prompts designed to spark meaningful dialogue about what healthy and unhealthy relationships can look like.

This talk by Dr. Kyle Shimabuku provides an overview of how an interdisciplinary team of forestry hydrologists, watershed modelers, analytical chemists, and drinking water engineers is tackling this complex issue. By combining watershed water quality modeling, appropriate water treatment techniques, and effective water system management, the team is developing science-based recommendations. These insights aim to guide policymakers, water system managers, and individuals in mitigating health risks from wildfire-induced contamination of drinking water. The goal is to ensure safer, more resilient water supplies in the face of increasing wildfire activity. Register at gonzaga.edu/ClimateEvents.

Did you participate in the First Friday Art Walk but not ready to go home? Are you tired of going to the bar?

Late Laughs is your monthly dose of experimental improv and comedy, happening every First Friday at 9:30 PM. Each show features a rotating lineup of performers from independent troupes to new voices trying something bold and unpredictable. These are not your typical Blue Door shows. Each 20-minute set is a chance for groups to push boundaries, test new formats, and take creative risks… all in front of a late-night crowd that is ready for anything.

Whether you are a night owl looking for laughs or just want something different to do downtown, Late Laughs is your alternative to the usual Friday night.

Tickets just $6.

Come curious. Leave laughing.

There’s something truly special about sharing a meal together—and we’re excited to announce that it’s time for another one of our community dinners! November's menu is hearty lasagna, garden salad, garlic bread and dessert. Come hungry and ready to enjoy a feast prepared with love—plus, live music. There’s nothing quite like the sound of laughter, conversation, and community spirit under one roof.

We believe some of the best moments in life happen around a dinner table. It’s where we laugh, share our stories, and turn strangers into friends. For us, creating this space is an authentic way to live out our calling to love our neighbors. In a world that can feel divided, we wanted that same feeling of a welcoming family table for our entire neighborhood.

This is about more than just a free meal; it's about connection. We’ve found that when we make space for each other, something incredible happens. The walls that divide us start to come down, and we discover a deeper sense of hope and community. It’s in this simple act of gathering that we not only connect with each other, but we also find a path to becoming more like Jesus. We invite you to pull up a chair and experience this unique blend of community and faith for yourself.

Park in our lot or along the side streets. Enter in the door to the right of the main stairs. Head on up and join the crowd. Doors open at 5:30, dinner is served at 6. Hang out and visit as long as you'd like.
