Style for the Faithful

After the Fall, why did man and woman not remain “naked without shame” (Gen 2:25)? And why does our Sunday best matter?

The way men and women communicate through their physical presentation—their style—is more than just clothing, hairstyle, and cosmetics. A person’s style reflects one’s state of mind, attitudes, and level of self confidence, and includes body language, speaking, and connecting with others as well.

The CIC is pleased to invite you to a very special event on Thursday, September 12th with three style experts, who firstly look at a man and woman’s fashion choices through lens that filter a person through their inherent dignity as a son or daughter of God.

Our speakers will discuss the theological whys of putting our best Godly foot forward—but spend a good deal of this program offering the practical how-to tips of doing so to help us discover our unique natural beauty through harmony with colors and fit that work with budgets of all scales.

Shepherd’s Clothing is bringing their roadshow to the CIC on Sept. 11-12.
All fittings on Wednesday and Thursday have been booked.
Please visit the Shepherd’s website to schedule a consultation or a virtual fitting.
