  • 1:45pm – “A Practice in Seeing,” with Lauren Wright Pittman
    • Our world is a saturated visual landscape. Inspiration abounds, if we pay attention. Participants will be invited into an extended version of the ancient, Benedictine practice of Visio Divina. Each step of the process will be broken down in order to practice intentional engagement with images. Through this prayerful, visual meditative practice, participants will recalibrate their vision and spiritual awareness, while also learning tools to enliven the sermon writing process.

We will look at prominent works and craft our own in response to our own contexts.

  • 9:15am – Morning Prayer
  • 9:30am – Workshop with Sarah Heath
    • Sunday is always coming, and often those of us asked to share something meaningful each week feel overwhelmed and uninspired. Podcasts and other mediums can compound the pressure as we feel a sense that we’ve got to live up to a standard of storyteller/preacher/motivational speaker. Add to that the text we have to mine is familiar to many—so how does one offer anything “new” that inspires the masses? Together we will talk about ways to cultivate curiosity, creativity, and share the one thing that no one else can bring to your messages… your story.
  • 10:45am – BREAK
  • 11am – Closing Worship, Sarah Heath preaching
