The main reason we gather women together is to provide teaching that is biblically sound, accessible, engaging, challenging, and inspiring. We pray hard about who to invite and spend a lot of time looking for gifted local women who have wisdom, integrity, and a heart for reaching and encouraging others.
We are so excited for this lineup and know these women will bring you Gospel truth with a side of humor and draw you closer to Jesus and one another. We will be introducing each of these women in separate posts.
ANITA SCOTT
Our dear friend Anita Scott will be joining us again with her incredibly moving spoken-word poetry. Anita has become a mainstay of Deeply Rooted in November.

We are absolutely ecstatic that Dallas spoken-word poet Anita Scott will be performing at Deeply Rooted again!

She is the Poet in Residence at The Mudroom, contributing a spoken-word video each month, and has performed her poetry nationally. Join us November 4 & 5 for our next gathering.

Deeply Rooted was AMAZING. God showed up in a powerful way through our worship, speakers, and fellowship, and over 100 women were present. The design and decorations were absolutely beautiful and inspiring. We are so thankful to all of YOU for your service, prayers, encouragement, and faithfulness. This was a dream come true for Joy & I and we were blown away by the team that banded together and threw their lot in with us. We will be throwing this party again on Saturday, May 21st. Save the date!!
