I came across this book several weeks ago and instantly fell in love.
Me Ra’s natural style and attention to detail grabbed me from the start. I finally sat down to soak up the goodness and did just that in a matter of hours.
But it left me thirsty for more.
I set out to find her website and joyfully discovered that Me Ra is coming to the Twin Cities in April!!! Information about her workshop is HERE and yes, I AM ATTENDING. (You can learn more about Me Ra Koh’s inspiring story by clicking HERE.) While I am very excited to be going, it does pose a conflict with our April Faithbooking Crop. (As I shared with you in an earlier post, March and May have already been cancelled.) So at this point, it looks as if our next monthly faithbooking crop will not take place until June.
Yes, a very loooong ways away.
I have been praying about the direction of our monthly crops – many have asked for the return of our 12-hour crops but Hosanna! is unable to accommodate us at this time. Though my heart is leaning towards hosting quarterly 12-hour crops instead of the monthly 9-3 format, I would love to hear YOUR thoughts on the topic and will be posting an online survey in the near future.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy Me Ra Koh’s work and are moved by her story. (Be sure to check out her blog for some great photography tips as well!)
Hi Tina,
I really miss the 12 hour crops. I know…also haven’t been able to be at the regular 9-3 ones either. The quarterly 12-hr crops would give more flexibility…I feel I can come in later or leave earlier and still get something accomplished. Perhaps easier for you? We have a party room in our apartment building and the thought occured to me — maybe someone in an aptmt has a nice, large party room that could be used if the church isn’t available? Just a thought. Our rm is smaller, but, it could be available. Also, the workshop you’re going to looks amazing! I went to her website and read her story – WOW! Enjoy your time there.
Blessings! ~Jodie
Thanks for your feedback, Jodie! We have two big issues when it comes to cropping space – rectangular tables and adequate lighting. We need a place that will provide both. If we need a new location, I have the feeling another church would be our best option – especially if we move to a quarterly format. With fewer crops and longer days, attendance would be higher (we hovered around 40-50 at our previous 12-hour events). I’m going to first survey the masses to see how everyone feels before making any type of move. I’ll keep you posted!
