Word Play!

Faith and Writing Retreat

with Pastor Holly Johnson

Did you know that one of the Hebrew meanings of the word wilderness is “mouth” or “organ of speech”?

Perhaps God might have something to say through the wilderness of Flathead Lake.

Come to the FLBC to play with words! Interspersed with reflection exercises, writing sessions will focus on word play in the genres of memoir and poetry.

Enjoy walks in nature, the prayer labyrinth, and our restorative sauna, specifically designed for Divine encounters and to inspire your writing goals.  Pastor Holly Johnson will guide the experience drawing on ideas from authors such as Maggie Smith, Jeff Tweety, Sue Monk Kidd and others.

Join us for a wonderful April get away!

Open to all adults, 21 and over. Clergy, LPA’s, and lay people. A great retreat for church council members to explore their call to serve in their daily life and mission and their role in the church.
