Word Play!

Faith and Writing / Adult Spirituality Retreat 2026

with Pastor Holly Johnson

Join Us This Spring!

Come play with words with Pastor Holly Johnson, an ELCA pastor serving at Spirit Garage in Minneapolis. Pastor Holly spent her recent sabbatical reclaiming a creative writing voice, and has some ideas to share if you also love to write (or think you might love to write) but can’t always come up with the time, energy or anything to write about. Our sessions will be spent exploring different ways to play with writing, mostly focused on poetry and memoir, using ideas gleaned from Maggie Smith, Julia Cameron, Jeff Tweety, Sue Monk Kidd, Lauren Winner and more.

In addition to sessions with Pastor Holly, explore God’s creation at Flathead Lutheran Bible Camp, with worship, devotions, Sauna, labyrinth, and time to relax in your own ways.

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.
