Writing Weekend: Created to Create

29–31 May 2026 (Fri–Sun)

In the beginning, God created everything from nothing. Including us, created in God’s own image. Like God, we are creative. Unlike God, we don’t have to try and create something from nothing. Phew! Whether you’re new to writing or a seasoned wordsmith, come and be inspired by God’s creativity. Together we’ll explore all sorts of prompts, games and exercises to get our words flowing and nourish our individual creative writing journeys.

Whichever way you like to write – with pen or pencil, on paper or screen – please feel free to bring your preferred medium with you. Additional materials will be provided.
