Hey there, writer! If you keep a journal, make notes about your thoughts, or send emails or texts to others, you are a writer. Some writers like to write for themselves, some like to write to share ideas with others, and still others write to bless their readers. Whichever kind of writer you are, join us for a free writing workshop! We will learn about the various aspects of writing, do some individual exercises to help strengthen those writing muscles, and have opportunity to share our writing in a safe and supportive environment.

We’d love for you to join us! Register with the QR Code or email Sarah (sbaughman@osl.cc) in the church office.
