Writing together in a safe environment can be a powerful way of growing in faith. People can explore both their inspirations and their challenges and doubts in such a way that they gain in confidence for lives of love, justice and witness.
John & Connie Seraphine are both recently-retired church professionals of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. They wish to host an ecumenical writing circle on their Heatherhope Farm on Airport Road near Sycamore. They hope this group will meet on a regular basis to share in a simple program of prayer and sharing of group members' compositions. The group may also elect to have a time of sharing of published writings of others that challenge and inspire the faithful Christian life.
At this first session we hope to decide such things as dates, time and frequency of sessions, as well as a further fleshing out of purpose and format. We invite all interested adults and youth (age 15 and up) to this brainstorming session.
