Friends Village, Styer Campus

Growing older brings new questions—some practical, some deeply personal. Who decides when it’s time to stop driving?&nbsp;&nbsp;When is it no longer safe to live independently? What happens when someone doesn’t recognize changes in their own cognitive abilities? And how do we balance safety, independence, dignity, and the wisdom that comes with a lifetime of experience?Join us for Bridging Blocks | As We Age, Who Decides?, a facilitated community conversation presented by WHYY News Community &amp; Engagement and Friends Village. This isn’t a lecture or a debate. It’s an opportunity to listen, share experiences, ask questions, and learn from one another in a respectful, welcoming environment. Whether you’re planning for your own future, supporting an aging parent or loved one, or simply interested in the conversation, your perspective matters. Host: Tony Cuffie, Senior Manager of Community &amp; Engagement, WHYY News.&nbsp; Moderator: Brisa Luzzi Castro, Community Convener, WHYY NewsCome be part of a meaningful conversation about one of life’s most important—and universal—topics. We look forward to welcoming you.

The Old Library by Lake Afton

Only in Yardley can you experience this kind of 250th birthday celebration. The Yardley Historical Association has 105 rubber duckies ready to float out on Lake Afton bearing your wishes for the future.&nbsp; They can be wishes for Yardley, America, the Earth, the Universe, or you. You can write your wishes right on your duck (markers will be on hand) or write a longer message on paper and tie it around your duck's neck (we'll have those supplies, too.) When your duck is ready, you&nbsp; can place it in the Lake.&nbsp; Your wish afloat.A canoeist will be on the water in case some herding is needed and will, of course gather the ducks at the end of the event.&nbsp; Polluting Lake Afton with plastic ducks is not our wish. If you would like to wait for the Float to end, you may take your duck home with you.Come to this FREE, only-in-Yardley event before you head to all the fireworks.&nbsp; &nbsp;Let's herald 250 years of history together in the heart of Yardley.

July 5 – 9:00 am Worship Service - Join us for a meaningful service exploring the faith of George Washington, alongside special music including trumpet, woodwind and vocals celebrating our nation's heritage and the faith that has sustained generations.
This July, join us for a special sermon series exploring the lives and faith of four influential figures from America's founding era: George Washington, Benjamin Rush, Abigail Adams, and John Witherspoon.
While these leaders came from different backgrounds and held different roles, each wrestled with how faith, character, and conviction could shape public life. Their stories remind us that faith has long inspired people to serve their communities, pursue the common good, and lead with courage during times of uncertainty.
As we reflect on their lives, we will also consider an important question for our own time: How is God forming us today to be faithful leaders, neighbors, and citizens? Whether in our homes, workplaces, schools, churches, or communities, God continues to call ordinary people to live out their faith in meaningful ways.
