SQUARE HALO 26

March 6-7, 2026 | Lancaster, PA at The Trust Performing Arts Center

Our keynote speaker will be Curt Thompson, author of The Soul of Desire and one of the contributors to our book, Ordinary Saints.

Our concert Saturday night will feature Jon Guerra.

The art exhibit will be from our new book Revealed Psalter.

The theatrical experience will be a dramatic reading and musical presentation by Ellie Green and company, based on Among the Lilies: The Song of Songs Annotated & Illustrated.

Our featured speakers are Steve Prince (a contributor to Revealed ) and Roy Salmond (author of our new Sacred Hmms trilogy).

As in the past, there will be a pop-up printmaking experience with Ned Bustard and hands-on making opportunities with Horst Arts. Nooks will host Leslie's The Goodness Tea Party again, and in addition to getting to sit in on a live recording of the Square Halo podcast, folks will have the chance to be part of a live recording of The Habit podcast with Jonathan Rogers! 

Registration (and the bookstore!) open at 8am on Friday, with the first session starting at 9:15am. The conference ends on Saturday with a concert that begins at 7:30pm.

Please consider coming and being a part of the beautiful creativity, collaboration, and community that is Square Halo!
