AREA EVENTS
February 1: The HCU "Radiant" Workshop. Radiant announces the 2025 workshop, "Better Together: A Conversation about how each generation strengthens the church." If you are not familiar with Radiant, the group exists to cultivate spiritual formation within the hearts of women. This educational workshop is intended for women of all ages to come together to celebrate the perspectives and experiences that shape us into a beautiful mosaic that is the church. Each new generation brings hope, insights, and ideas. Each established generation brings wisdom, resilience, and dedication to the faith. We make the church stronger, not in spite of our differences, but because of them. The workshop begins at 9:00 AM at HCU.
