Liz Curtis Higgs Event

If the Crown Fits

A day with Liz Curtis Higgs

Join us on November 5, 2016, for a full day of laughter and learning with Liz Curtis Higgs. An award-winning speaker, Higgs is the author of more than 20 books – including Bad Girls of the Bible. During her time with us, she will be sharing from her heart with insight into the life of the Queen of Sheba, based upon the knowledge gleaned from her newest endeavor, It’s Good to be Queen.

To further explore what it means to be queen, WAR, Int’l will be hosting a humorous spin on the traditional auction. Take part in this entertaining fundraiser by bidding on eccentric baskets filled with items even a queen would drool over. Your purchase will have you leaving with items that include artwork and beauty supplies, along with dozens of other gifts to make your Christmas presents the talk of the year. All of the proceeds from these baskets will be given to WAR, Int’l to aid in caring for victims of sexual exploitation. A photo booth, survivor-made product, worship, and more will also be provided. We invite women from all over West Michigan to join us for this extra special event.
