Word By HeartOn Saturday, April 16, Bruce Kuhn will offer his Word by Heart Training from 9 am–1 pm for those interested in learning more about drama and its contribution to worship. The fi rst disciples saw the Gospel stories happen. They must have gripped their listeners: to have actually seen a withered hand become whole; to have heard every nuance of Jesus’ words. Can we recapture the power and reality of an eyewitness account? Find out during this special workshop with Bruce!

Writer’s WorkshopThis two hour workshop, jointly taught by Mark Filiatreau, MFA Wichita State University, professor at Patrick Henry College, and Joe Gainer, instructional designer at CIA University, will give each participant the opportunity to compose the opening of a story or poem, and along the way, build an appreciation for the sounds of words and other elements of poetry

and stories.

The Spring Arts Festival Marketplace is an outdoor event that will take place on Saturday, April 16th from 10 am–5 pm.
