Lenten Weekend 2025

Lenten_Weekend_2025Accounting for Hope

March 7 – 9, 2025, with the Rev. Lauren Winner

Register Here

What gives us hope — not to mention abundance, resilience, and curiosity — amidst despair? 1 Peter 3:15 encourages us to be ready to give “an accounting of the hope that is in you.”

The Rev. Dr. Lauren Winner is an acclaimed writer, professor, and Episcopal priest. Her books include Girl Meets God, Mudhouse Sabbath, Still, and Wearing God. She is practiced in guiding a variety of people, from incarcerated women, to divinity school students, to professional authors, in the art of writing their stories as a way to account for the hope that is in them — which is part of how we can share our faith.

This weekend is open to all and includes sessions of reading, writing, and dreaming together, all incorporating the stories of contemporary poet and essayist, Christian Wiman, the great Harriet Tubman, and Lauren’s own stories. Lauren will encourage us to explore and share our own stories of facing challenges with hope. You do not need to be a writer to learn to tell your story from a fresh perspective using the tools Lauren will provide.

Childcare available upon request. Please note on registration form.

Register Today.

Susan Goff will join us to talk about expressing ourselves through writing, poetry, and art. And on May 4, St. Georgian Linda Wickersham will lead a workshop on writing as part of your spiritual journey. Linda will follow up with a six-session writing workshop. These events are free and open to the public.
