A First for Wordsowers

July Wordsowers Meeting

Let’s Get Creative with Theresa Graeve
Combining Writing and Art

Thursday, July 24th, at 7:00 p.m.
(Meeting is on the fourth Thursday, not the fifth Thursday)

In-Person Meeting location:
*Omaha Christian Center
4215 N. 92nd Avenue
Omaha, NE 68134
(Zoom is also available. See details below.)


This will be a fun-filled first for Wordsowers. Theresa Graeve, an artist (who is on the WS support team), will provide an art project for all attendees. After a time of creativity, folks will channel their artwork into a writing assignment. Towards the end of the session, they’ll have an opportunity to share what they’ve created. (Even if you’re not artistically inclined, you’ll still want to attend because the art project won’t be that difficult. We promise.)

There will also be time to fellowship as we create. You’re encouraged to bring a snack to share with others. If you get a little chocolate smudged on your artwork, perhaps it will add character to it.

For those who’d like to participate on Zoom, contact Theresa at graeve.theresa@gmail.com, and she’ll mail you the art supplies needed for the project. Notify her at least one week before the meeting to allow enough time for the package to arrive.

Blending Writing with Life’s Other Passions
Meeting will be hybrid: in-person and zoom

Thursday, August 22nd
7:00 p.m.

Meeting location:
*Omaha Christian Center
4215 N. 92nd Avenue
Omaha, NE 68134

Pat Minagrelli will be our guest speaker at the August meeting. Pat combined his love for God’s Word and His creation, along with his passion for photography, to write a devotional book “Drawing Near: Meeting God in His Creation.” He’ll challenge us to look at our other interests to see if there’s potential for blending them with our desire to write.

You can connect with Pat at his website The Creation Speaks Creation Ministry, or via email at pat@thecreationspeaks.com. His book can be purchased on the website. Many Wordsowers attendees have professional shots thanks to Pat who generously provided his services at a discounted rate at some of the Wordsowers’ conferences.
