Senior High Girls

Last week, we had our annual dinner out at Macaroni Grill . . . a favorite for most of us. We had a fun time hearing about the missions trip that the youth group just did to Washington Heights, NY. And, we brainstormed about the fall . . . talking about various activities and services we could do. Any youth leaders out there with creative ways that girls can serve the church? (They always have plenty of ideas of how to have fun . . . ).

Some things we have in mind for this fall are (all with a Bible study lesson at them): an apple-picking day at an orchard and then lots of apple pie baking and applesauce making. A day to make homemade bread and soup. We have a youth retreat in September to Harvey Cedars, NJ. A sleepover and then Color Me Mine in the morning. (We paint pottery at Color Me Mine, and the girls want to make Christmas presents there). We'll make Christmas cards for shut-ins and college students. And, we do Christmas shopping and a brunch in December. As for service projects: we usually make meals for families or new moms, we usually help with WIC (Women in the Church) events, I'd love for us to work with the local crisis pregnancy center, any other ideas out there?!!!! Also, any great material you're found for senior high girls to study. We're just finishing J. I. Packer's study on Hope. It's been great.
