What will be your spiritual legacy? Presenter Judy Young, a nationally certified Legacy Writing Facilitator, will introduce partipants to the spiritual practice of legacy writing and use a variety of exercises to encourage the expression of beliefs, values and blessings to future generations. Legacy writing may lead you to write a Spiritual Ethical Will, an affirmation letter to a child or simply become a practice you continue to enjoy in private. This is not a creative writing seminar, it is about heart work. There will be free time in the afternoon to enjoy this beautiful setting by relax inside or hike/ski 5 miles of groomed trails. Pick up a brochure at the Information Table or call the church office for more information. Please register by Feb. 13.
