Topic: 2026-2027 Finding Our Path in Uncertain Times

The July 2026 to June 2027 annual programming theme is Finding Our Path in Uncertain Times.

A mysterious maze roughly based on the wheel of the year shape. In the heart of the maze a flaming chalice glows, signifying safety. In the style of watercolor painting. People are in the maze, trying to find their way. On the outer rim and corners surrounding the circular maze we see the four seasons.
