The FLOURISH conference [for girls… “OBVI”] is a creative, thought-provoking look at the Word of God and what it says about our lives as Christ followers. Through an interactive, entertaining, yet REAL way, we desire to encourage girls to discover who they are in Christ, what their purpose is and finally…how they, uniquely, can live it out in a life that not only allows them to flourish, but encourages others to join them. We will do this by engaging them in three basic questions…Who am I? Where am I going? How am I going to get there?
Our main overarching scripture for the day is Matthew 16:13-28. The conference starts with the understanding that before we discover ‘who we are in Christ’ we must first acknowledge who Christ is. This is the foundation to seeing that in Christ we are a NEW creation. (2 Corinthians 5:17) From there we will move on to our purpose being to simply glorify Him with our lives (1 Corinthians 10:23-33) Finally, the last hour and half we will take a look at how that impacts each of our lives, therefore discovering what our days tangibly look like. (Psalm 86)
identity . purpose . tangible ways to live… understanding this allows girls to make the right decisions on what to wear, how “far” is “too far” in a relationship, and how to treat their body. We are going back to the basics and challenging the girls to decide what they are living for.
The FLOURISH conference is a mixture of interactive teaching from God’s Word, personal stories, random yet meaningful games, visual aids, interviews from people who are actually living this out, engaging worship and intentional fellowship. We will provide food [lunch is from Chick-fil-a] and each girl will leave with a journal/2 month devotional to help keep them on track as they continue to learn these principles and integrate them into their lives. We desire for these girls to not only walk away with a rad experience, but also a tangible means of encouraging their relationship with God to be more intentionally active in the months to come. [Hence, the take home journal/devotional.]
The event is one day only – Saturday, March 27th from 9am-6pm at North Coast Presbyterian Church in Encinitas, California!
