Mark your calendars for a unique and very special event on Wednesday, April 8.

Guns to Gardens Wisconsin engages Christians of all denominations through biblical and theological presentations and dialogue, in what the Bible teaches about guns, violence, and loving enemies – see attached flyer.

Guns to Garden Director and retired pastor, Jeff Wild, will be at Marian University to share details of his program on April 8 for a Wisconsin Wednesday presentation in the Stayer Auditorium at Noon.  

Following Jeff's presentation, he will offer a live blacksmithing demonstration at the CSA Motherhouse Maintenance Garage at 2 pm. Using the metal cut from previously surrendered firearms, Jeff will forge garden tools. There will be time for prayer and reflection.

Both events are open to all members of the Marian community, the CSA community, and the public. REGISTRATION IS APPRECIATED!
