CCFW director Jennifer Holberg at the Shelley Irwin show

The run-up to the Festival of Faith & Writing is getting ever more intense as we prepare for the arrival of so many of you in April. We can’t wait!

Part of that is making sure the invitation to attend is heard as widely as possible. I’m so grateful that I got to join Shelley Irwin on her radio show this morning to talk about our upcoming time together. Shelley is so gracious and a very valued community partner. If you live in West Michigan, do check out her morning show on WGVU—it’s always full of information about what is happening in our community.
