community

Through weekly Tuesday evening meetings and monthly Saturday adventures, Girls’ Adventure Club provides a place for girls and women in Washington, DC to build friendships with peers and across age groups. Girls’ Adventure Club is a place for girls to build friendships with each other and to be rooted in Christian community that includes their moms and other women in the church (including single women and married women without children). Through this community, girls deepen friendships with each other and see the many ways women in the church live out their faith.

SCRIPTURE, LITURGY AND ART

Girls’ Adventure Club is grounded in Scripture and Anglican liturgy. Each Tuesday meeting begins with an opening liturgy, hymn, and prayer. Over the course of a year, girls work together to memorize up to 15 Bible verse passages of 8-10 verses each. Tuesday meetings include a short art lesson that weaves together art history, fundamentals of visual arts, and a creative project. Works of art are displayed and celebrated during a final art show at the end of each program year.

saturday ADVENTUREs

Our monthly Saturday adventures bring girls together to explore the beauty of God’s creation in our city and the great outdoors, discover fun activities like baking and photography, and be inspired by the vocations of women in our church (like being a movie director and art teacher!).

Recent activities include hiking, caroling in the neighborhood around our new church building in Shaw, viewing Christmas art at the National Gallery of Art, creating custom cupcakes during the annual Great Girls’ Bake Off, learning to make pom poms, snow tubing, and building and racing cars in the Trail Life Trailadega car race.
