Panama City Writer's Aglow Meeting

We meet the third Thursday evening of the month at the Country Inn & Suites breakfast room from 6:30 -8:30 PM

It is a wonderful time of challenge, encouragement, and fellowship each month. Below is a recap with photos of our March meeting.

We each read the assignment or a chapter we had brought to the meeting. Then items were put in the middle of the table and each person was to select something to write spontaneously from. This was a great experience and creativity whirled throughout the room!


Missy picked up a wild pair of glasses, put them on, and took off writing!



Lorna chose a thimble that said Jerusalem on one side and Israel on the other and her writing took us to the Holy Land!


Sherry chose a sign that said "happily ever after" and wrote from true life experience that she once believed it, became terribly disappointed, and then how she had grown through her walk with the Lord.








Lorna Cassie-Bywater is with us three months each winter. The end of this month, she and her husband, Rick, are returning to their home in Midland, Ontario. She read us the poem she had written for our group! We were so blessed.





Her "going away" gift to us was Lavendar sachets :)





Joyce selected a picture of a church and wrote about her godly grandmother being healed from Polio.





Janet chose the small case and wrote about the "just in case" bag she takes with her when she travels.







Desiree selected a tin with a girl's picture and wrote about being a nanny and her bond with Leah.



What a blessing this group has turned out to be!
