Crowned for Christ
A Writing CommunityKeep Writing!
Crown of Life is a discipleship ministry, which means we want to encourage people to be zealous for their faith—through writing!
Each of us have different calls on our life, a pulling inside of us by God that leads down a road where we can use our gifts and talents to honor Him. Those of us who like to write know both how rewarding and lonely it can be to put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard). Sometimes it is hard to finish strong, the call behind James 1:12. This is why Crowned for Christ has both weekly meetings and events to encourage writers to "fight the good fight," and keep writing for Jesus (2 Timothy 4:7, NIV).
Whether you are new at writing or an experienced, published author, we have a place for you in our writing community. Come join us!
Weekly Zoom Groups
Crowned for Christ Writing Groups presently meet weekly on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 10am PST - 12pm PST / 1pm EST - 3pm EST over Zoom. (We do take breaks over the holidays and during parts of the summer.)
Our format is as follows: 10:00am, login and say "Hello." At this time we each share what we will be working on. We do not provide writing prompts; you must have your own writing plan. People come and work on anything from newsletters, blogs, book chapters, to scholarly papers. While we are all Christian, our writing may or may not fall into those genres. We are a community of Christians supporting one another, writing what we want!
Then, we mute ourselves and minimize our Zoom screens. From 10:10-11:50 we write. Oh, the wonderful accountability of knowing someone else is there writing with you! It helps you to write even when you don't feel like it.
At 11:50am Melisa Berry unmutes and calls the group back. We share how it went for us, wish one another well, and log off by 12:00pm.
There is a suggested $20 a month donation to the ministry for participants.
