Lenten Weekend 2023

Becoming Creative Community

March 3 – 5, 2023, with Jonathan Randall Grant

How can we express our life together through art? God invites all of us to create in response to God’s action in our lives. With our keynote speaker, Jonathan Randall Grant, as our guide, we will explore how to engage creativity as individuals and as a church community. We will also consider how to become a hub for art and creativity for our community.

Come as we create and curate a space that is Open to All in Love and Open to All for Art.

Childcare is available upon request. ASL interpreting also available upon request. Please indicate your need on your registration.
Attend all or some of the weekend. Suggested donation for the entire weekend is $40.
Register Today.

    Good afternoon,
    I just realized I will not be able to attend the art workshop March 3-5. You may keep my registration money as a undesignated donation.

    Regards
    Barbara Atkins
