Around the Sun Again

Happy Birthday, Montpelier Atrium!

This month, our atrium turns 1 year old. It’s hard to believe it has been a full year since we took first steps into this unknown, hands open to receive whatever would come. One step after another—one surprise after another!—has resulted in the beautiful gift that is this atrium.

As we prepare to re-open the Montpelier Atrium on September 15 (mark your calendars!), we have a year of miracles and wonders to look back on with assurance even as we face familiar worries and fears about the unknowns of this coming year.

The Astonished Traveler is getting older, too!

Today is my 40th birthday! In light of this double celebration, I wonder if you would consider joining the festivities by donating $41 on behalf of myself and the atrium for the coming year?

This summer, we’ve diversified our venues and opportunities for becoming involved with the atrium. We now have a Patreon Page where donations can be scheduled monthly in smaller increments. Our GoFundMe is still live and taking donations, as well. If you would like to sponsor the Montpelier Atrium in a very particular way, whether that is donating to our scholarship fund for incoming children, or giving a certain amount for a specific material, fill out this Google Form for Sponsors and follow the questions as directed!

Tour the Atrium In Person

Don't forget about our open house happening next Sunday evening, August 18. No RSVP necessary. This is a great opportunity to see what it’s all about and ask questions before you commit to any financial support of the work.

It is my joy to partner with you all in the work of this atrium—a space—by intentional design—built by the combined faith, labor, consistency, artistry, and friendship of a whole community. What a pleasure to be that community with you.
