What have you witnessed in the course of your life? What has been important, even life-changing, for you? Lets explore & write about them.

Creative Writing: ‘Things Witnessed’ (ACT 828)
Tues 17th 12 noon – Fri 20th 10.30am March 2026
Led by Chris Leonard
What have you witnessed in the course of your life? What has been important, even life-changing, for you? Jesus told his first followers to go and tell what they had seen of him. Much of the Bible (and of Chris’ own published writing) tells honest faith-stories from imperfect, ordinary witnesses. Structured in much the same way as Chris’ regular creative writing events at Ashburnham ‘Things Witnessed’ will focus on recalling and expressing what you’ve witnessed of Jesus day by day and help you gain confidence in relating stories of what really matters in your life and faith
It’s not competitive. However insignificant they might seem, your lived experiences are unique. Difficult struggles often speak with more relevance and credibility than spectacular triumphs and each will illuminate different aspects of Jesus for different kinds of people. Your faith and spirituality may be hesitant, embryonic and weak or mature and strong – all will have ‘God with us’ stories to encourage others. Writing, then listening to each other’s stories at Ashburnham will inspire us all to explore new ways of sharing God’s grace, hope and love.
