A half day workshop with April Yamasaki
Saturday, October 24, 2026 – 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

“Writing is an act of faith, not of grammar.”—E.B.White, essayist, beloved children’s author of Charlotte’s Web and Stuart Little, co-author of The Elements of Style writing guide

In this workshop, April will share some of her writing journey, with time for you to reflect on your own journey, to engage in a creative prayer and writing practice, and to connect and share with other writers.

For author and editor April Yamasaki, writing as a spiritual journey includes

• seeking God’s guidance and stepping out in faith,
• meeting distractions, detours, and roadblocks,
• learning from way stations of rest and renewal,
• and much more!

Venue:

Langley Mennonite Fellowship
20997 – 40th Ave
Langley, BC

Tea, coffee and light refreshments to be served during the break.
