Talk presented Fri, May 18, 2007 at the Urban Youth Workers Institute Conference 2007.

Decription

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.

About the Speaker

As a young adult, Michelle was fired more times then she was hired and had more fears than should be allowable by law. Through an awkward moment in a college class, God revealed her calling and life became her playground! Currently, she works for World Vision as the Director of Vision Youth in Seattle, training and consulting youth workers in the Pacific Northwest. She has extensive background in theater and the performing arts and leads a band called Still Water.
