Beneath The Hood

A familiar tale woven with biblical truth

Little Red stands with basket in hand, and the dark forest stretches out before her. She is afraid of what might be in the forest, but the King has given her this path to walk.

Her sister stands beside her to remind Little Red that she is a Child of the King, and she won’t be alone.

Once inside the dark forest, Little Red meets a Wolf with many questions. The Wolf doubts she will finish the King’s errand, but Little Red keeps moving along the path.

Distractions and the Wolf tempt Little Red to step off the path every few steps.

Can she remember who she is to finish the King’s errand?
