Psalm Writing
​​​
Our Ancestors were no strangers to deep emotion, and psalms were a frequent form used to express deep joy, sorrow, hope, and everything in between. In this workshop--led by Pastor Alexis and Linda Wisniewski--you will be guided through a process that helps you pour out the fullness of what you are carrying, while grounding yourselves in the steadfast care of our Creator.
