About the Event
As we reflect on strong, courageous, and often unspoken women in scripture (Deborah, Naomi and Ruth, Huldah, Ester, Judith, Mary, the Bent Woman in Luke, Mary Magdalene and others) we will explore who these women were in our biblical history. We hope to unlock how their stories connect to our own personal spiritual journeys from the past to the present, leading us to the hero (heroine) within.
