Are you finding any treasures? 

Summer feels like a different pace. For me, my normal routines have been replaced by finding treasures. I have been busy with my family helping my parents transition to a new home. This digging through the boxes and bags and closets and chests produced every possible emotion. Sadness and joy. Disgust (see also bugs, mold, and one black snake), but also delight in the treasures my parents saved that my brother and I gave to them.

I talked about three types of treasures we might find. I hope you will find some in this summer season, too. I really hope one of the most valuable treasures you find is space to write. With me! 

We have some new opportunities for writing. (Check out Summer Sabbatical below - early bird pricing ends today!) And I want to share a few things to support your #practiceofministry. 

Summer Writing? Start it off with a Mini-Retreat! 

 
We have new options for summer! Our next Mini Writing Retreat is June 21, sign up below. 

Also - how could you gift someone a writing package? Know someone who would appreciate space at the table? Give them the gift of a writing community.   

Summer time is project time? What if you had help? 

We are offering a summer package for writing called Summer Sabbatical. Turn your writing into something finished and on its way to publishing - an article, book chapter, special project, or something larger! The Summer Sabbatical is designed to give you strong, proven support in the coming months.

Imagination . . . for what's next! 

Take Pastoral Imagination with you in your new call! June is a time of transition for many of us. In your next ministry context, nurture your imagination. Pastoral Imagination: Bringing the Practice of Ministry to Life is ready with 50 topics, stories, and reflection questions. The Pastoral Imagination Journal is a life-giving companion to the book. Grab yourself a copy, or gift it to someone who is setting out into a new space. 

Inspire your Pastoral Imagination this month!

You have so many things on your mind and heart this month. Maybe it would be nice to have a prompt within reach? If it helps, save one of these phone lock screen images to guide your #pastoralimagination practices.

May this month be full of found treasures, deep connections, great writing practices, and peace, .
