is to realise the beauty of all things you may encounter in life"

Dear Subscriber

Invitations to Join in 2

We are bringing you news of events taking place at Encounters in Sheffield.  Following the success of Invitations to Join in 1: Encounter Abundance, Invitations to Join in 2: One Word is now up and running in the Encounters shop in Sharrow, Sheffield.

Invitations to Join in 2: One Word

Invitations to Join in 2: One Word is an interactive window display that began on 24th November and will continue everyday as it gets dark, until Christmas Day. We invite you, whether local or from further afield, to visit the shop and submit one word that you would like to see projected onto the Encounters shop window after dark.

Your suggestions can be written on acetate strips available outside the shop, and posted though the letterbox. Everyday, one of the words will be selected at random by a passerby and will appear in the window that evening in your handwriting.
