Rev. Wanda Bynum Duckett || Poet & Retired Elder of the Baltimore-Washington Conference of the United Methodist Church
What can poetry teach us about hope?
This week we continue our summer worship series, Godly Artists: The Role of Creativity in All of Us, as we welcome guest preacher Rev. Dr. Wanda Bynum Duckett. Drawing from Jeremiah 29:1–11, Wanda will explore the power of creative resistance through the arts of poetry and the spoken word.
Written to a people living in exile, Jeremiah's letter calls God's people to seek life, cultivate hope, and imagine a future beyond the circumstances that surround them. Through the spoken-word tradition of Sacred Slam Poetry, Rev. Dr. Duckett will invite us to consider how creativity can become an act of faithfulness and help us tell the truth, sustain hope, and proclaim God's promises even in difficult times.
Join us as we discover how God continues to inspire courage, imagination, and new possibilities through the creative gifts placed within each of us.
