Come + Create Summer Festival
About this Event
For three nights only, we're opening up All Saints Hall for a festival of God's joy and creativity.
On the evenings of 3rd, 10th and 17th August, writers, artists, and performers from KXC Church will run workshops to share their skills and kickstart a new wave of creativity in London.
These sessions will be all about faith, joy and connecting with one another in a space where it's OK to experiment and make mistakes.
Each evening, you'll have the option to learn from 1 of 3 creative disciplines. You can see each day's choice of sessions on the Agenda below.
Please come at 7pm for a 7.15pm start, and bring paper and something to write with.
If you've ever wanted to activate a new creative skill, explore questions about God, or meet more creatively-minded people, this is for you.
