You are invited to a special author-led workshop with Mark Yaconelli, author of Between the Listening and the Telling, on Saturday, May 9 at 6:00 pm at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church (149 Manzanita Ave, San Carlos, CA 94070).

In this guided workshop, Mark Yaconelli will lead us in exploring how storytelling can become a powerful source of healing, connection, and spiritual renewal. Together, we’ll reflect on how sharing our stories deepens relationships, nurtures faith, and helps us listen more deeply to one another.

Whether you’ve read the book or are simply curious about the sacred power of story, all are welcome.
