Girls Group

I am leading a small group for girls every two weeks out of Terra Nova for girls between grades 7 and 9. They all really enjoy coming and are happy to be able to learn and to be able to express themselves. Two weeks ago we discussed gossip and how they may have been hurt or hurt someone by participating in gossip. It really made them think. They were all hurt at some point in this way and we could have talked for hours on end. An environment of trust is what I am trying to offer them and a freedom to ask whatever questions they may need to. These girls have insight and plenty of curiosity. One girl has recently been much more interested in knowing about what the Bible says and why. She said that I had given her a new way of looking at certain issues. She also said that before the group began she couldn’t have cared less if there was or was not a God. We have been speaking regularly and she has fit really well into the group. God is doing great things and I pray that HE would use me and the staff at Terra Nova more and more!
