March 2: Praying with our Pens on Ash Wednesday

It’s not too late to gather with friends and prepare for Lent through a reflective writing practice. You are invited to join retreat leader and writer Carol Younger on Ash Wednesday to experience how writing in community can deepen your spiritual life. Participants in this interactive virtual presentation will have the opportunity to reflect on Scripture, do a timed writing exercise, and learn how they might form a writing group in their own place of worship. As Carol says, “If writing is a form of prayer, then writing groups are a prayer meeting. The Church is a great writing teacher.”
