All the Single Ladies

A couple of weeks ago we had a 'relationship event'.  It was for our Senior High guys and girls.  Basically, it was an event to talk more deeply about our relationship with God and each other (specifically the 'guy/girl' thing).  We had SUCH a great time with all the students.  Honestly, they are such a GREAT group.  I really enjoy hanging out with them.  They even like to play my really fun games. :)  Anyways, at one point in the weekend, I gave the girls a challenge.  I thought I would include it here...just in case you would like to join our challenge.  Prizes will be awarded!

SERVING SINGLES 

o   Reach out to a mom in our church.  Offer to watch her kids so she can go grocery shopping, go on a date with her husband, go to a coffee shop for a couple of hours, go shopping or whatever she wants to do.  Do this FREE of charge.   This may be a fun thing to do with a friend (or two- depending on how many children they have:) Who did you do this for:                                                                                                                                                                                        

o   Build into your girlfriends!  Pick three friends and write them a letter of encouragement AND MAIL it to them. What friends did you encourage?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

o   Make a meal for your entire family.  Make sure it is a sit down meal in which you can get the conversation going.  Come up with a list (about 5) of questions to encourage more than surface conversation (i.e. Who’s your role model/who do you look up to and why?, What is the nicest thing someone had done for you?, etc.) Please share how your family responded to you doing this and how the conversation went. 

o   Learn a new skill.  Take a cooking class (or spend time with someone that is a good cook), learn how to knit, crochet, sew, make some jewelry, etc.  Use this new found skill to bless someone. What skill do you learn:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

o   Read a biography of a woman that loves/loved Jesus and made a difference in the lives she touched (I can help you find one if needed). Write the book title here:                                                                                                                                                                                        

o   Interview 3 wives and mothers in our church.  Ask them the following questions:

·      What is the most difficult aspect of being a wife and a mother?

·      What is the most rewarding?

·      What surprised you the most about being a wife and a mother?

·      What is something you really enjoyed in your single life that you think every single girl should do?  OR What do you wish you would have done when you were single?

Please include the interviews when you hand this in.

o   Memorize Revelation 19:7

When this is complete, hand it in to Angie and I will give you a prize!!
