April 19 - 21

Springwood is proud to present an educational seminar on the extraordinary C. S. Lewis: On Suffering, the Imagination, Heaven and Hell. Lewis is best known for his children’s books (“Chronicles of Narnia,” etc.) and his writings and talks on the Christian faith. During this weekend study, we will explore Lewis’ inspiring story to faith, his life-long journey into the imagination, and how, as a former unbeliever, he became an illuminating voice for Christianity.

The seminar will be taught by the Rev. Dan Wray who has been a presbyterian minister for almost 50 years and leads First Presbyterian Church in Badin, NC. Dan also taught philosophy, religion, and American literature at Stanly Community College in Albemarle for 22 years.

To learn more, we invite you to Lunch and Learn at Springwood, Tuesday, April 9th at noon (bring a brown bag lunch) where we will screen a movie on the life of C.S. Lewis. You are also invited to visit Springwood’s library or speak to librarian Mary Jane Crum about Lewis’ books available to borrow, including :
