Write on Tuesdays in May in the Banquet Room. Come write together on Tuesday mornings in May. We’ll write to prompts. We will reflect about our lives. Sharing is optional. “But writing has always been my primary way to make meaning, to marry the joy and the sorrow, to traverse the distance between no longer and not yet.” from Suleika Jaouad’s Isolation Journals. Come join us to follow your thoughts on the page from the “no longer” to the “not yet” and especially the now from 10-11:30 a.m. in the Banquet Room on three Tuesdays in May (and maybe more). Come on May 2, 16 and 23. Drop in to one or two or come for all three. Contact Kay Windsor at kehwindsor1@gmail.com or (check the Instant Church Directory for contact information) for more information, questions and to RSVP! You do not have to consider yourself a writer to participate, but if you speak, you are “writing on the air” according to Pat Schneider in Writing Alone and with Others. Each of us is a writer. Bring a notebook and your favorite pen or pencil. (No red pens needed.)
