Deeply Rooted is Back!!

Joy and I feel like we need a gathering this year.

It has been a difficult time for all of us due to sickness, loss, fear, loneliness, and isolation. What better reason could we have for wanting to bring women together for encouragement and connection?!

We are putting on a super simplified version of Deeply Rooted. One night. One poet. One speaker. One group of women longing for encouragement with a side of joy. We’d love for you to come (if you are vaccinated, for the health and safety of our staff and attendees).

If you can’t come we would love for you to pray for us!

Tickets: $10
Students are free!!
Scholarships are available.

Hoping to see you soon!

P.S. There is a chance Deeply Rooted will be livestreamed. We’ll keep you updated!
*In-person attendees must bring proof of vaccination.

Worship

Be the Center

Did you know that 3 bands are represented in our worship team? Hilde Bialach plays cello and sings for The Crossing, Brach Siemens plays guitar in The Unfortunate, Ed Bialach plays drums for Glenn Kaiser Band and The Unfortunate, and Glenn Kaiser is, of course, the vocalist and guitarist for GKB. Here is a little taste of what you’re going to experience tomorrow.
