Wednesday, May 30th, 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. in the sanctuary
In this workshop, we will examine the ways in which our relationship to God can be enhanced by reading and reflecting upon poetry. Daniel Sherwin will lead us in a careful reading of three or four poems which present distinct ideas about God’s relationship to humanity. This workshop is specifically intended for people who do not usually read poetry, although expert poets are very much welcome! Sponsored by Ottawa Presbytery’s new ministry Faith and Arts Ottawa.
For more information, contact Faith and Arts Ottawa at info@faithandartsottawa.org, or (613) 883-4757
