August 2013 HS Girls Study Survey

Hi Girls!

We are gearing-up for the school year and we are looking forward to hanging out with YOU!

I would love for you all to share your feedback. Please click here to check out the survey we have prepared for you. This will help us plan studies/discussions for the upcoming year. This survey is anonymous and results will only be displayed online for my eyes only. There are ten questions - this should take you ten minutes.

So thankful for each of you.

Hugs!

This Summer

High School girls!

This summer, we will not be having combined girls and boys time on Sundays in the Summer. All of our ROOTS time will be on Wednesdays. YAY! Can't wait to have some super awesome fun with you all.

Brad and I thought it would be a good idea to pursue girls' and boys' studies separate this summer. I would really like for us to consider this. Maybe we can keep a meeting time on Sundays and do something special just for us girls to continue to grow, bond, and learn. We can set up an afternoon time like lunch or after church sometime (preferably in the afternoon) or we can choose a weekday. Everyone is going to have crazy vacation schedules, but it would be best if we pick a day to meet consistently.

I am interested in what you all are interested in learning more about. I will give you three options here on the blog and I would like you to share with me which interests you most!

Options:
--Learning how to read the Bible: a structured studying on reading the Gospels and applying it to our lives
--Read Francis Chan's book, "Crazy Love" Visit this link to learn more about the book. It is wonderful and I would recommend it for anyone: a baby Christian or an experienced one. http://www.amazon.com/Crazy-Love-Overwhelmed-Relentless-God/dp/1434768511
--Learn more about Proverbs 31 and what it means to be a woman of God (same study that I am doing with another group of girls)

Options for meeting days and times - maybe each girl can take a turn hosting at their house OR we can meet somewhere...
--Sundays after church (afternoons)
--Tuesday afternoons
--Thursday afternoons
--Friday afternoons

Please pick a preference from both options (study and time) and this will help us plan something awesome. Some of you all might work and stuff, so consider your schedules before responding! Be sure to check out our summer calendar - we will hand them out next week and also send it to your parents online. There is tons of fun stuff planned every Wednesday and girls specific stuff, too. Can't wait to spend part of the summer with you :-)

Love,
Elisa
