The Girl Who Baptized Herself – How Saint Thecla Reveals the Power of Knowing our Worth

The Girl Who Baptized Herself

October 7 – November 11, 2026

6 Wednesday afternoons from 12:05 – 12:55 pm EST

On Zoom

Join us for this 6 week online book circle where we will read Megan Watterson’s book The Girl Who Baptized Herself. 

Together we will explore the ancient story, the Acts of Paul and Thecla, and allow Thecla’s story to invite us deeper. Thecla shows us what it can mean to truly know our worth and to live from that place of knowing. Leaving behind our ego and leaning into unconditional Love within might we find the power of knowing our worth. 

We will send the Zoom link prior to our first session.
