WELCOME TO FAITHGIRLZ!
Growing up isn’t easy. With so much to learn and discover, sometimes deciding who you are can be the biggest challenge of all for a young woman. The entertaining and inspiring Faithgirlz stories have guided girls like you to better understand God’s love and promises as they discover the beauty of believing.
Faithgirlz books, Bibles and other products show girls that they are children of God and that he has a perfect plan for their lives when they walk with him. By encouraging girls to be who God created them to be, resist putting others down, talk to Jesus about everything and be loyal to friends, Faithgirlz strengthens girls to overcome challenges with God’s help.
Now you can set out on the great adventure of walking with Jesus by joining a Faithgirlz Club. Starting a club is a great way to get closer to God and others through fun activities, thought-provoking discussions about truth and exciting service projects.
NOTE TO THE LEADER
This handbook contains everything you need to establish and lead a dynamic Faithgirlz Club. Each member should have her own handbook. Discussion questions may be used as group talking points or as journal prompts. Each week will begin with a Bible passage girls should read before the meeting. They may also be asked to bring an item to club for a group activity.
Getting Started
To get the word out, advertise at your church, or send out invitations or emails one month before club begins. The week before you start, personally call each potential member to remind her about club and let her know what she needs to bring. Your Faithgirlz Club meetings may be held in a church, in a home, or any community room with a welcoming atmosphere. To create a friendly environment, decorate the club area with festive objects from a party store. As the club continues, you may want to set aside an area to display girls’ art projects.
You’ll need:
• Bible
• Faithgirlz!™ Handbooks (one for each member)
• craft and cooking supplies
• decorations (optional)
• nametags (if you don’t already know each other)
• healthy snacks
• poster of Faithgirlz verse
• poster of Faithgirlz promise
Typical Meeting
Each meeting will begin with a prayer; the leader may pray or ask a girl to pray if she’s comfortable. Members will then recite the Faithgirlz verse and promise. An icebreaker activity will follow. Girls may want to recite and/or review previous week’s memory verse (incentives may be offered for memorizing all verses). The leader will then give an overview of that week’s Bible lesson and follow with a discussion. (Note: Discussion questions may also be used as journaling prompts.) Girls will memorize week’s verse. Following Bible time, girls will complete a craft or recipe. At the end of club, girls will be challenged to think about how they can serve others in the upcoming week. End the meeting by providing a snack and allowing members to socialize for a few minutes. Meetings will run for approximately 60 minutes.
To Get Ready for Your First Meeting
If possible, distribute handbooks to girls prior to meeting. If not, books may be passed out at the first get together. Call all potential members the day the club begins to remind them of the meeting time and place and ask each girl to bring along one object that will tell others something about her. (For example, Josie might bring a soccer ball because she plays soccer.) Write the Faithgirlz verse and promise on pieces of poster board. You will want to display these in your club area. Prepare craft supplies. You may find it convenient to put supplies needed for each individual project into plastic zip bags — one for each girl.
Prepare the club area by arranging seating for girls and putting up decorations. Try to create a welcoming, festive atmosphere for your first meeting. Have some upbeat worship music playing when girls arrive, and give each girl a nametag.
During the first meeting, recite and explain Faithgirlz verse and promise. Discuss club goals and go over specifics of meeting times and places, the responsibilities of members, and other club details such as who will provide snacks, craft, and recipe materials.
Faithgirlz Verse
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
— 2 CORINTHIANS 4:18
Faithgirlz Promise
I promise to always …
Focus on my inner beauty.
Remember that God loves me always.
Love myself the way God made
