In other words, we'll cover 'how and why of the arts as ministry," says Sean Buvala, the director of the Center for Creative Ministry and the workshop leader. Sean continued, One of the good things about this workshop, in addition just simply being fun, is that the participants will walk away from it with a variety of scripts and plans that they can use immediately in the Lenten season, which starts at the end of February. Its very practical."
