Last month when Karen Diehl’s Dad passed away (Harry Olmstead), it was so good to find the Bible he carried with him through WW II (with a note inside from Virginia, his then new bride) and the journal that he wrote while at sea. (Amazing stories! He served on a destroyer.) Those things offered some wonderful insights into his life, and were so meaningful for us to hear and share.
On 3 successive Mondays: March 12, 19 and 26, there will be a workshop here at Our Savior to help you tell your life’s story! Dallas Freeman who will lead the workshops, was born and raised in DeSmet, South Dakota, home of “Little House on the Prairie. He retired after a 40 year career as a high school and college instructor of English, Theater and Speech, has conducted numerous workshops on “How to Write Your Life”, to people of all ages, particularly retirees.
The 3 sessions will focus on 3 “How To’s”: 1) How to trigger the mind to recall meaningful events. 2) How to reduce the list of events to a manageable focus (such as steps in one’s spiritual journey). 3) How to write interestingly as well as factually.
Dallas is a delightful man who has been a part of our Men’s Breakfast group for several years, and who says this is a “no threat” workshop that is a rewarding and fun experience. I’m sure anyone who attends will agree. Just being around Dallas is delightful experience.
There is no charge. We thank Dallas very much for this wonderful gift to our congregation.
If you plan on coming it would be helpful if you call or email the church so we can plan on how many will be there.
Thanks.
