Delighting in God's Word

Last night we began our meeting by doing a rather rowdy treasure hunt type game. It involved searching the church for plastic coins, pieces of paper & Allison while attempting to do it quickly & fill out a worksheet with your team. Needless to say, there was a lot of running, shouts & excitement. The game is a bit too complicated to attempt explaining here, so you'll have to ask someone who was there.

Anxiously awaiting the return of a teammate...

 

Looking up verses to help complete the team's sheet.

By the end of the game, each team had compiled a list of benefits that can be gained from spending time in Scripture.

Rather than eagerly searching for little plastic coins or pieces of paper, God has given us even greater treasures that can be found in His word! During the lesson I encouraged the girls to delight in God's Word by making the decision to spend time with Him daily.

"As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby." 1Peter 2:2

After a time of discussion & accountability in small groups, we ended with tea! Tea is always such a special time of fellowship & enjoying yummy treats! It's exciting to see the friendships being formed around the tables as girls giggle & chat over cups of tea & cookies.

See you all again in a couple weeks! Until then, enjoy the privilege of delighting in God's Word!

Receiving Rebuke

Last night the church was bustling yet again, with a large group of energetic young ladies! To begin our meeting, the girls broke up into groups and prepared "Proverbs" to present to the rest of the group.

These presentations, which were rather amusing at times, were on topics including correct table manners & interacting with siblings.

Towards the beginning of the lesson, we had a rather abrupt & rude interruption by some pretty strange looking characters. ;)

They seemed to think they had the liberty to be in our meeting room doing whatever they pleased & got pretty offended when I told them they were wrong.

Our lesson for the evening was on receiving rebuke. Rebuke is whenever someone tells you that you are wrong. The Lord uses rebuke in our lives to help us grow to be more like Him.

A young lady who is seeking to apply wisdom in her life will respond to rebuke with humility while a young lady who is walking the way of folly will reject rebuke.

Once the lesson was completed, the girls split up for small group discussion, prayer & fellowship.

Finally we ended with tea & fellowship!

We'll see you all for our next meeting on October 29th!
