Message from the Writing Tutor
------------------------
Just a reminder that I'll be on campus from 10 to 3 on the two Tuesdays
of Winterim--January 8 and 15--and would be happy to meet with you.
Other dates in January might also be possible.
In February, the midday writing groups will likely continue on both
Tuesday and Thursday.
In the meantime, I'm happy to comment on your work via email, if we've
already met.
Looking forward to seeing you in the new year.

UPCOMING WORKSHOP - MAKE YOUR PLANS NOW!
----------------------
The Sacred Journey: Leading a Congregation Through Lent
Saturday, January 26, 2008 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
$40 includes lunch
How does your congregation observe the season of Lent?
In this workshop, led by Shelley Stackhouse, we will explore both
ancient and new traditions for walking the journey through Lent on
Sunday mornings. We will also discuss other possible observances in
worship, prayer and other disciplines that might happen throughout the
week.
Since the journey has a destination, if not an ending, we will also
focus on how to celebrate Palm Sunday and shape a rhythm of worship
through the other Holy Week services culminating in Easter.
See the website for a flyer and registration form.
