Dignified Girls: An Inspiring Night of Faith, Friendship, and Fellowship

By Ellie Hyvonen, Faculty

It was a beautiful Friday evening at the Rairdon home as the Dignified Girls Ministry gathered for one of its most memorable nights yet. Dignified meets two to three times each semester, usually on a Friday evening, and is a time of fellowship over food and fun and also learning how to apply God’s Word to our lives. Each month has a different theme. In the fall, Miss Ellie and Mrs. Piper Loveless led a discussion on anxiety and how to have practical techniques for this bodily experience. Then in December, there was a special Christmas swap and conversation about celebrating the little blessings of life! This particular gathering in March featured a panel of moms, along with alumna Annie Rairdon, who shared thoughtful wisdom, encouragement, and insight with our high school girls as they explored questions about godly relationships, dating, marriage, and friendship.

The evening was filled with laughter, lively Wii dancing with Miss Ellie and Mrs. Sicard, and a delicious buffet prepared by Kim Rairdon. Mrs. Rairdon is truly a gracious hostess and a blessing to our community. We are so grateful for our incredible panel of women who made the night so meaningful.

Looking ahead, our next spring event will feature bouquet-making and tea, along with a conversation on honoring and caring for our bodies and cultivating a healthy body image. Stay tuned for the date!
