The Scriptures are alive and colored with the details of our human experience so why settle for blah, bland and boring skits? Our congregations are pining to make a legitimate emotional connection to the Word and that's where the performing arts take center stage. This writing workshop helps you identify ways to "pull on the text" and "pour in the intangibles". It's not about being a good writer … it's about being a good reader.
