Joan Lunden
Thursday, April 30 at 6:00pm
We are honored to welcome our first guest: Joan Lunden, award-winning journalist, bestselling author, and longtime cohost of Good Morning America.
In her new memoir, JOAN: Life Beyond the Script, Lunden reflects on the defining moments that shaped her extraordinary life — breaking barriers in broadcast journalism, redefining motherhood, and courageously sharing her breast cancer journey to advocate for women’s health and caregiving. Her story is one of resilience, reinvention, and living boldly at every stage of life.
Tickets are $25 in person and online: Each ticket includes a copy of her book for signing (in person only).
Matt Grace
Thursday, May 7 at 6:00pm
Join us for an evening with Matt Grace, author of God Doesn’t Relapse and founder of Saving Grace. With more than twenty years of sobriety and over 10,000 hours mentoring individuals and families, Matt has devoted his life to helping people break free from addiction and rebuild their lives with purpose, humility, and service.
Drawing from decades of experience working everywhere from Manhattan boardrooms to recovery homes and church basements, Matt brings raw honesty and practical wisdom to conversations about addiction, generational wounds, and lasting transformation. His message is clear and hopeful: rock bottom is not the end — it’s the beginning.
Tickets are $10 in person and online. Each ticket includes a copy of God Doesn’t Relapse, mailed directly to attendees.
