Workshop With Anna A. Friedrich

Poetic Responses to the Questions of Jesus

Jesus asked dozens of questions during his three years of ministry, questions that reverberate through the ages & pierce our own souls. “What do you want me to do for you?” “Why are you so afraid?” “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?”

Have you ever spent considerable time with just one of his questions, as if he’s asking it of you? This workshop will offer space to hold a question that Jesus asked, as recorded in the Gospels, & respond to it in your own voice, in poetic form.

Anna A. Friedrich is a poet who has spent considerable time considering the questions in the Bible & responding to them with poems. She offers this workshop for beginner poets, seasoned poets, or non-poets alike as a space to hear the words of Jesus afresh & respond to him in a new & creative way.

When: Saturday October 26th from 9am to 12pm

Where: First Congregational Church in Essex, MA

Cost: $45/person
