Westminster and The University of Mount Olive's Written with Love Project are joining forces to introduce a transformative approach to spiritual engagement. We aim to bring God’s dream to life among us through dinner gatherings, intentional programming, and leadership empowerment.
Thursday, October 10, we will host an evening gathering with Rev. Shannon Marie Berry, Written with Love's Project Director, as we embark on this inspiring journey. This is an exciting season as we make new friends within our church, preschool, and community. We thank our United Methodist Connection, which introduced us to Rev. Berry, and the Lilly Endowment through UMO for their generous support, which makes such ministry possible.
Much more information is forthcoming. If you have thoughts, interests, or questions as we begin, please bring them to Blair Hamilton or Dennis Peay. You may have something important we need to consider or a piece of brilliance that opens us to greater possibilities.
