Hi everyone,
wow, what an amazingly educational Spring 2026 retreat filled with encouragement and just each of us getting to be ourselves and share with reunited friends and new friends too.
Support Network - Yes - that is what the Faith Forward Writers Retreats provide!!!!!!
Inside this issue:
P 1. Community is more than where you live. It's where you show up.
(I heard this somewhere...it stuck with me so vividly I just have to share as well.)
P 2. Christy Wopat, Melanie Lee, Barbara M. Britton shared their behind-the-scenes events that led up to their published books-no two journeys are ever the same!
P 3. WHO IS A WRITER? Jen's Pen♥
P.4. This newsletter is a team effort!
Spring 2026 attendees, please complete the survey by June 20th.
And a super sweet message from Jesse and Amy Bell! Check it out!
