In this day long exploration, these dynamic workshop leaders invite you to chart the Story Arc found in Biblical texts and your own lives. Join Richard Bruxvoort Colligan in an examination of the Psalms and how they tell stories that chart the psalmists’ journey from complaint, to hope, to gratitude. Valerie Tutson will lead us through a process of re/membering our own stories, and finding new connections with Biblical tales. The 11th Annual Festival of Psalms will follow the workshops on Oct. 2nd.
This event will be held on Zoom and in person at:
475 East Lockwood Avenue Saint Louis, Missouri 63119-3192
