ROOTED: A Study on Ruth
$157 per person
Speaker: Amanda Wood
It doesn’t take long to find hundreds of research results showing that girls as young as 6 years old think about their image. We live in a culture that equates value with beauty and beauty with how thin, wealthy, or well-dressed you are.
Rooted aims to create a supported space for middle and high school girls to talk through these issues with their church leaders. Our speakers, using a Biblical lens, will explore the value and identity that the Lord has given to each of your girls. Church leaders, book your spots today to experience a life-changing weekend with your girls!
