As a writer who is a Christian, you long for your words to have lasting value. That certainly could happen with a book deal or an article that goes around the world. But what about preserving your family’s faith history so it lives on for generations to come? In this workshop, we’ll walk through practical ways to write and record your family’s faith history so you can leave behind one of the most important pieces of work you’ll ever do.

Please join us as workshop leader Lee Warren shares his insights. Lee has twenty years experience in the Christian publishing industry, both traditional and indie publishing, and has taught at writers conferences throughout the US.

He has written eighteen books and hundreds of articles for various magazines, newspapers, and websites, including Decision, Discipleship Journal, Light & Life, War Cry, Christian Single, Bible Study Magazine, CBN.com, Today’s Christian, Breakaway, Clubhouse, Living Light News and many others.

After the meeting we’ll gather for our relaxed Afterglow chat session at Village Inn, 7837 Dodge St.

We meet the fourth Thursday of the month
6:00-7:45pm at the W. Clarke Swanson Library.

The meeting room is on the basement level. Park on the east side of the building and walk into the lower door.

Award-Winning Photographer Pat Mingarelli

Returns for Wordsowers 2018!

Pat Mingarelli, Award-Winning Photographer

Pat Mingarelli: I am an award-winning nature photographer with a unique kind of creation ministry. As an outdoor photographer I’ve spent countless hours observing God’s hand in creation. In those time’s I’ve learned that God speaks to us through His creation and the creation speaks to us about God. You can click here to learn more about my creation ministry.

The Creation Speaks ministry examines how nature speaks to our heart, soul and mind about God.

 


If you were at a book event and someone asked you, “Why do you write?” what would you say?  I have a message God has given me to touch others. I want celebrate and glorify God as creator and to encourage people in the daily walk with Him. In today’s world we are detached from creation. We all need to get outside more. Creation has plenty to tell us about God.

Do you have a mentor and/or author/and/or book that helped you this past year.  I really like Michael Hyatt and his Platform University

Do you ever struggle with writer’s block and if so, how do you overcome?  Yes, and I just start writing anyway. Eventually, the right thoughts just come together.


Pat returns as our on-site photographer, offering photography sessions during this year’s conference.

We’re often our own harshest critics. That negativity can stifle our creative flow, and hinder our momentum. Join author Jeanie Jacobson for a night of encouragement and fresh starts.

We’ll not only give ourselves a “grace pass,” we’ll use five keys to identify–and eradicate–the culprits that hinder our writing process.
Together we’ll move forward with creating, honing, and submitting our work.
