God's Girls Ministry

Mission Statement
The goal of God's Girls is to provide girls with an opportunity to discover all God has planned for them. We accomplish this through Bible study, field trips, fellowships and monthly iLife activities.


Bible Study
Girls will take part in a three month Bible study. Groups meet on a weekly basis to study scripture and learn how to apply it to their lives. Bible studies may include refreshments, games, arts & crafts, and worship.


iLife
Each month girls can participate in a one day iLife. These events are to introduce girls to lots of different interests. These interests range from gardening and sewing to pottery and construction. Along the way they will work with Christian women who love God and who want to teach others about Him. Girls will learn new skills that they can carry with them throughout their lives.


If you are interested in God's Girls or would like more information, please leave a comment and we'll be in touch!

Christmas Party

Every year we have a joint Christmas party for the adult Sunday school classes. We ask anyone who wants to sign up to decorate a table in the dining hall. I think this is a fabulous idea. It takes pressure off any one person to decorate and it gives members a chance to show their creativity. I wish I had more pictures of the other tables but they weren't decorated when I did mine.
I used an idea I saw on Lifetime, putting my own twist on it. The white balls are styrofoam with plastic "snow" glued to it. Snowballs. The candles are peppermint scented. It's my belief that smells bring back long forgotten memories so I try to incorporate smells into my decorating. Even for Vacation Bible School. Except last year. The theme was sports related and I don't think anyone wants to remember what a locker room smells like.

Anyway, we always have a good time at our Christmas parties and they are well worth remembering.
