The full Utah Valley calendar of events is on L4, but here are three local events you should check out this week:

1. Finding Peace: Free Musical Fireside

Scera Center for the Arts, Nov. 9, 7 p.m.

Combine election season with national turmoil and the stresses of upcoming holidays, and everyone could probably use a little more peace. Maybe the SCERA can help with it’s free fireside which it describes by saying: “Enjoy an uplifting evening featuring a mixture of music from traditional to modern Christian folk; to songs of courage and faith from golden age as well as contemporary musical theatre; and some fun, upbeat takes on familiar hymns, combined with spoken messages of love and peace. All denominations are welcome, and the event is perfect for families and church groups. Written and directed by Kathryn Laycock Little.”
