    Explore writing as a tool to express yourself, connect more deeply with God and yourself, and find your voice. You don't have to be a writer to do this (or, rather, you are a writer already because everyone is). We will do some “therapeutic” purge writing (pouring out whatever is on our minds onto paper) as well as some prompted writing. It's not to impress one another or create something ready for publication, but it's a way to connect, reflect, share, scream out what's inside, and let creative God’s Spirit talk through you.
