Yvonne Olson and I kicked off her Writer's Edge ministry this morning. Those who attended are fired up and ready to go. Several couldn't make this first, introductory meeting, but those who did came with great ideas, experiences, and boundless enthusiasm. Two showed up who weren't registered yet, so that was a terrific surprise. I'm sure we'll get even more participation on weekends when the Puyallup Fair isn't in session. (This is the last weekend for the fair his year.) Fourteen people are registered for the next session on October 11th, when things really get underway. Author Judy Gann, who wrote The God of All Comfort, Devotions Of Hope For Those Who Chronically Suffer, http://www.amazon.com/God-All-Comfort-Devotions-Chronically/dp/0899571557/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1221945404&sr=1-1 will be our guest speaker for an hour during the get-together.
Pastor Pat Leksen is going to bring news of this new ministry to the senior pastor and see if we can get it touted a little louder to the congregation. That would be great.
In a few months we're hoping to have a kind of "cafe"-style open-mic evening where the folks in the writing ministry will read their creations to people who stop by to see what we have going at Writer's Edge. The event should inspire more participation and will also be a fundraiser for the ministry.
We're very excited. It's a God thing, for sure!
