Powette

Powette is a camping adventure for girls like no other! Girls and their leaders work together and bond in a way that is simple, fun and lasting. The opportunity for girls to grow close to Jesus is provided around every corner. This year our theme verse is Romans 1:16 the girls will learn what it means to be UNKNOWN and how to become unashamed and known as a disciple of Jesus!

This event is for girls in 3rd through 12th grade. No younger children are permitted due to the nature of this event and the risk factors involved. Please, no exceptions!!

If you have not been to Powette and need assistance or would like to try it and go with another group for support,  feel free to contact me.  There are several churches in our area that attend and would love to be of assistance to you :)

All the needed forms and information are available at http://www.ohioministry.net/586016.ihtml

Hope to see you there!

Christmas in JUNE???

Wow! I just read this morning on Facebook that as of June 25th there was only 6 months until Christmas.


I just wanted to take a few minutes to give you a tip about the Area Girls Ministries Teen Challenge Christmas Party.  Many churches find it easier to participate in this service project if they start now.  What does that mean?  Good question.  For the project they determine how many baskets they would like to try to fill now and collect the items on the general list.  These are items that any guy needs and don't have to be specific sizes.  The following items could easily be collected throughout the year to lessen the burden during the holiday season: 

Shampoo                                          Razors

Conditioner                                      Hand Cream

Shaving Cream                                Deodorant (not anti-perspirant)

Comb/Brush                                     Pens

Nail Clippers                                    Hi-Liters

Bar Soap                                           Notebook paper

Kleenex                                             Calendar

Tube Socks                                       Blanket

Dress Socks                                      Wash Cloths

Band-Aids                                         Towel        

Tie                                                     Hat

Work Gloves                                     Scarf

Dress Gloves                                    Q-tips

Chap Stick                                        Wallet

Tooth Brush                                      Boxed Christmas Cards

Tooth Paste                                       Stamps

Praying you all will consider supporting Teen Challenge in this way.  If you start now that only leaves you with 5 items to collect to finish the baskets for the party.

Hope this helps!  I can't wait to bless their socks off again this year.

 

Why Retreat or Family Fun Day?

Hey there!  It was great to see many of you last week.  We had some of you that were returners and some of you that were first timers to the June events.  I would LOVE to hear from all of you.  Share your stories. ...
What did God do for you and your girls this June?
What were your favorite parts?
I know I would love to hear...and I am sure the rest of the OGM team would too!

I guess I'll start...My favorite part was watching at least one of my ladies open herself up and allow God to speak to her heart.  She is beginning that stretching a growing process and it is was still written all over her smiling face Sunday morning in church :)...and to me that is priceless!
