Strawberry Queen Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I'm thinking of doing a christian girls club with a few friends (we all have daughters). Anyhow, I'm looking for the name of any out there. It occured to me that I might not have to reinvent the wheel. So, if you know of any that would be great. I'm looking for something appropriate for the 6-9yo range. Maybe a short Bible lesson, craft/hobby activity. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Katia Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Search under "Bright Lights", by Sarah Malley. This is a young ladies club targeted at 10-14yos, although my 15yo is currently attending one and she loves it. This stands for Being Radiant in Godliness, Holiness and Testimony. I'm pretty sure they sell the materials on their web-site. Wonderful stuff! I can't say enough good about it. This gal (author) is one of sisters that teamed with her brother and sister and wrote the book "Making Brothers and Sisters Best Friends" if you are familiar with that. As a family, they will also come to your church/area and do a weekend Bright Lights retreat. They are very special and extremely well done. The two sisters and brother play harps, they do all sorts of fun skits, chalk-drawing testimony things, and they bring other young gals that give their testimonies/experiences. It is very inspiring and uplifting. You could look into that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollyM Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Pioneer Girls is similar to a girls scouting program but with a Christian theme and focus. They earn badges, but you could easily do the work without messing around with the badges and other paraphernalia. (Altho they ARE part of the fun) :D We do it through our church but I would imagine you could do a single age-grouping club - you might need your pastor to sign off. Not really sure.

Sophia Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Similar to Girl Scouts in that they have sashes and earn badges for projects. My girls participated for a year and loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue G in PA Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 It's the equivalent of Royal Rangers for boys but this is for girls. I think they changed their name to MPact. Not sure if that was a worldwide thing or just our church that changed it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 A book you might like is What Every Girl Should Know from HeartofVirtue.com They have some sample chapters to preview and a free teacher guide when you order the book. It covers a girl's spiritual life, character, practical skills, relationships and lots more. There are some activity ideas and great quotes and scriptures sprinkled throughout. Our middle school girls' group really liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angela in ohio Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 We have been involved in Keepers at Home and Bright Lights. Oh, and Missionettes during the time we were trying out an Assembly of God church.) What you are describing sounds exactly like our Keepers at Home (the girls' portion of Keepers of the Faith clubs) club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I really loved being involved with American Heritage Girls. I'm sort of sad there isn't one here yet but I don't think I have the energy to start a program from scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMom2One Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Dd age 8 just joined this year and really enjoys it. They incorporate scriptures, prayer, servanthood and rigorous activities into their program and its a wonderful connection for girls of all ages to have. Our local troop is made up of at leat 50% homeschooled girls. Blessings, Lucinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
