Lent @ The Writing Table Appreciations (2024)

We received many thanks for last year's Lent @ The Writing Table. Here are a few observations and appreciations shared by participants.

“I need to be ok being flexible. I was hoping to use this time for my creative writing during Lent, but today I really had to work on my sermon for Sunday! So I did, and I felt the inspiration getting stronger throughout our time this morning.” — Pastor A

“Writing is a sacred task. I didn't use the prompts but they were a backdrop to this time. Great to have the second option of time this season. Holding a sense of community during Lent has been a lovely gift.” — Professor S

“In the first pom wrote using the PROMPTS. They led me to a different place than I expected. I've used them as a brain dump. Really good exercise! Little tasks in the next pom, using the accountability of the space. ” — Pastor L

“My sense of calling to be here has gotten me here most days. A holy space.” — Pastor C

“I was continuing analysis of interviews. Just helps having others around working! ;-)” — Grad Student A

“Thanks, as always, for this encouraging writing space.” — Professor D
