It is an evening designed to inspire and equip girls in 5th grade and up to pursue the life God has set before them with courage, purpose, and joy.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year, we are honored to welcome Ciara Dierking as our guest speaker. Ciara is a quad amputee following a sudden illness in 2023, yet her story is one of incredible strength, faith, and unwavering hope. She is a devoted mother of two boys, a talented artist, and a living testimony of God\u2019s sustaining grace through hardship. Her message encourages girls to trust the Lord boldly, even when life takes unexpected turns. <\/span><span class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Formerly, a quiet and reserved person, Ciara now uses her story to speak candidly about suffering and finding purpose after life-altering loss. Her story encourages girls of every age. This event is for girls 5th grade &amp; up. The event cost is $5 per participant so we can bless Ciara and her family with medical and ministry support. (If financial hardship is a concern, scholarships are available. We never want cost to prevent a girl from attending) Ciara will also have t shirts and hoodies available for purchase from her Always Grateful Threads Ministry. You can view the shirts and Ciara&#8217;s story at AlwaysGratefulThreads.com. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-center para-style-body\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Join us as we gather to celebrate the purpose God has for each girl!
