Legacy Letter Workshop


Thursday, November 7

7:30am until 11:00am

Gathering Place


La Casa de Cristo is hosting the Legacy Letter Workshop next month. Coffee and a light breakfast will be available at 7:30am and the workshop will begin at 8:00am. The Legacy Letter concept was developed by Blake Brewer years after a tragic accident happened to his family. He and his parents were vacationing in Hawaii when Blake's dad started to struggle in the water while snorkeling. Blake was successful in bringing his dad back to shore but was unable to resuscitate him. Later, Blake's mother gave him a letter his dad wanted to give him on the trip. That letter changed Blake's life forever!


He created the Legacy Letter Workshop, and his goal is to have 1 million people write legacy letters to their kids or grandchildren. During this workshop, Blake will take the audience through a process so that you leave with the beginnings of your own Legacy Letter.


For this event, which is FREE to our congregation, La Casa de Cristo is partnering with our local business community. You won't want to miss this event! It may just change your life, too! Space is limited. Please sign up here.
