For our fall kick-off gathering - a Literary Potluck!
Jane Park will lead our next meeting. Please bring your favourite dish of words! For this meeting, we will each share a piece of writing that inspires us and makes us want to write more. Bring something short (preferably under one page), and we will take turns reading aloud. This meeting is to nourish the famished writer, and, hopefully, stumble upon great writing and writers. Hope to see you there! As always RSVP is not necessary, just show up.

The Redeemer Writers Group is a community founded to develop and promote writing talent within the church. This group provides support and guidance to fellow writers with the aim of preparing pieces toward submission for publication.
The possibility of God working in and through our work is why the Arts Ministry has carved out time and space for writers to unite in discussion, practice, and prayer. Each meeting includes discussion based on a short devotional/literary text, a writing exercise, and prayer for one another's creative endeavors. We hope writers will take this opportunity to share their creative processes, literary experiences, and encourage one another towards creating good works.
We believe that writing, whether it be lyric, poetic, or prosaic, is a primary means to experience and express the holiness of the Lord. Indeed, language is God's mode of creation; Christ is revealed in the Gospel as the Word. Therefore, we consider it an appropriate act of worship as sub-creators to glorify God by creating beautiful works of writing. Because this task is often a lonely one, the Redeemer Writing Group provides support and guidance to all believers who desire to develop their artistic skills as writers by helping them to prepare pieces to submit for publication.
