EE4 Events Loop on Homepage

Hello, I’m looking to build a section on my homepage with a view of the next 4 upcoming events. How can I pull these back and loop through an array of events? Is it a DB call or is there a global $events variable ? I would rather not create a plugin for this.

by DB call i mean WP_Query. Is this the best way to pull back upcoming events?

I used this from the widgets.php file and it worked.. 

                $where = array(
					'status' => 'publish'
				);
                $events = EE_Registry::instance()->load_model( 'Event' )->get_all( array(
					$where,
					'limit' => '0,4',
					'order_by' => 'Datetime.DTT_EVT_start',
					'order' => 'ASC',
					'group_by' => 'EVT_ID'
				));
                print_r($events);

is this a reasonable approach?

I’ve found some useful public functions in /public/template-tags.php. Believe I’ve answered my own question.
