Change

Stephanie Bradley will facilitate the January DCWF meeting

Stephanie has chosen an appropriate topic for the New Year: Change. She has written a short analogy about driving on the highway to start our discussion and is equipped with supporting Scriptures.

DCWF CHANGES: For its entire existence, Delmarva Christian Writers has functioned casually. In 2020, we will establish some formal parameters but strive to retain the friendly, flexible approach we have always enjoyed. One of the changes in DCWF will be a Statement of Faith, posted below so you can review it prior to the meeting.

CRITIQUES: If time permits, we will critique manuscripts. If interested, please bring 20 copies of a maximum of three (3) double-spaced pages with one-inch margins and 12-pt. font. Also, please use the Line Numbering feature in Microsoft Word for your manuscript (go to Layout and click Line Numbering).

MEETING SCHEDULE for the year (see below). In December, we got a good start in identifying facilitators but still need volunteers to provide refreshments. Please prayerfully consider if you can make a commitment to help with refreshments on March 21, April 18, May 16, June 20, July 18, September 19, and November 21.

CONFERENCE. We will be hosting our second Christian Writers Conference in October, and if anyone is interested in serving on the committee, please let me know.

Refreshments for this month's meeting are provided by Betty Kasperski and Judi Folmsbee.

Statement of Faith
This Statement of Faith includes the basic tenants of Christianity. As of 2020, signing this statement is required in order to be a member of Delmarva Christian Writers' Fellowship.
