If you are not, then please sign up for one of the additional small group times at this link. We want everyone's voice heard!
Community Events
Beer & Hymns in Bentonville | Sunday, July 26 at 5PM | Bike Rack Brewing
This July, Beer & Hymns is seeing Stars & Stripes at our singalongs: a celebration of summer, connection, and the music that reminds us where we’ve been and helps carry us forward.
Our featured charity this month is Soldier Songs and Voices NWA, an organization creating spaces where veterans can connect through songwriting and creativity. Their work supports veterans’ mental health by helping people tell their stories, process experiences, and find connection through music.
Join us for an evening that’s joyful and rooted in showing up for one another.
All ages. All voices. All people welcome. Events are always free to attend.
Beer & Hymns brings people together to raise our glasses, raise our voices, and raise funds for organizations that change the world
