Create in Me is a spiritual retreat connecting art and faith.

This year’s retreat will be led by award-winning author and theologian

Dr. Jacqueline Bussie, who can’t wait to create alongside you!.

Dr. Jacqueline Bussie is an award-winning author, professor, public theologian, and student of life in all its messy beauty, as well as a much sought after speaker and workshop facilitator.

An active servant-leader in the ELCA, Jacqueline spent the last 20 years teaching religion to undergraduates at ELCA colleges and serving as the founding Director of the Forum on Faith and Life at Concordia College. Today, Jacqueline is a full-time author and public speaker. Every day she is amazed and grateful that she gets to: write and tell her story, empower other people to write and tell theirs, and accompany marvelous people like you on your journey of faith, hope, and healing.

Join us as we make space for God’s creativity to flow in and through each participant, learn from artists excited to share their skills, be inspired by the Spirit, and experience holy creativity in community.

Let God create in YOU!

We will offer a performing arts opportunity in preparation for Palm Sunday for our 3K-5th graders. This weekly, evening arts workshop will include bells/chimes, singing and visual arts rotations within age groupings. Middle and high school youth are encouraged to volunteer to help with the rotations.

Our 1st graders and their parents will begin a 4-session course on First Communion. This instruction aims to familiarize and help the children feel more comfortable at the Lord’s Table. The first 3 sessions will be offered following the 11 (or 10 on 3/30) service, with lunch. For the 3rd session, families will be provided the ingredients for making bread which will be used on Maundy Thursday. The last session on April 17th will conclude prior to the Maundy Thursday worship at 7 pm where the children will be invited to participate in their first communion. This instruction isn’t required, but is offered as an opportunity for families to grow together through the promises made at Baptism.
