Souvenirs of the Holy

The regular objects of our lives can be conduits of God’s love and grace–if we notice them. Using her book Souvenirs of the Holy, Laurie will guide us on a journey to help us see everyday items not merely as objects gathering dust but as keepsakes from the literal and spiritual journeys we have taken. We’ll reflect on the items in our lives that connect us to a God who dwells within and beyond the material world.This workshop will include conversation, quiet reflection, and journaling. Participants are invited to bring an object they have that holds meaning (or a photo of it if that’s not feasible.)

Rev. Laurie M. Brock is the author of several books, including Souvenirs of the Holy, as well as a contributor to over a dozen anthologies and devotional books, and a national speaker on spirituality and faith. As the rector of St. Michael’s Episcopal Church in Lexington, Kentucky, Laurie remains connected to the day-to-day lives of the faithful. Laurie graduated from The University of Southern Mississippi, obtained her law degree at theUniversity of Alabama, and received her Masters of Divinity from The General Theological Seminary in New York City. Laurie lives in Lexington and is a competitive equestrian with American Saddlebreds, training at Wingswept Farm. She is married to Rev. Dr. Steve Pankey, also an Episcopal priest and Alabama fan.
