Writers Group

Next Writers Group Gathering:

Thursday, April 29
7:00PM
Redeemer Offices, 1359 Broadway, 4th Floor (at 36th St.)

George Steiner in Real Presences states "any coherent account of the capacity of human speech to communicate meaning and feeling is, in the final analysis, underwritten by the assumption of God's presence." 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. 

RSVP is not necessary, just show up!

Save these dates for future Writers Group Gatherings:

June 24

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.

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.
