Redecorating our Stars Classroom

I always believe that a fresh coat of paint and new curtains stir up the "interior decorator" in me.
That is why I decided to get rid of everything on the walls and create new posters and rearrange
the classroom.

What is the Girls Ministries club and the Teen Girls Ministries?

The National Girls Ministries is divided into two major programs:

Girls Ministries (Mpact Club)     AND      Teen Girls Ministries  (TGM Club)

 

Mpact Girls Clubs  (Rainbows, Daisies, Prims, Stars) is a program for winning girls to Jesus Christ through love and acceptance. Mpact Girls Clubs provides an environment of support and accountability while helping girls to develop their gifts and abilities. In addition, girls build lifelong relationships with mentors who encourage girls to be spiritual leaders.

Teen Girls Clubs (Friends and Girls Only) are Bible- and discussion-based curriculum for girls in middle school and high school that serves as a guide for the Titus 2 principle of godly women mentoring girls.
Each unit is made up of six lessons which can be taught as an achievement or a nonachievement option. Projects and Adventures complement each unit and reading schedules are available to help each girl track their progress as they read the entire Bible.


At our church we have the following clubs - they meet every Sunday Morning at 9 AM.

Rainbows Club:   Preschool children ages 3 and up

Noah’s Ark provides an exciting theme for the Bible stories, crafts, full-color activity pages, and games for this preschool club. Rainbows add colorful animal badges to their vests as they complete requirements for the achievement program. Units can be completed in 4 weeks. Only nine units need to be completed each year.

Distinctives

Pledge:  As a Rainbow, I will be a good helper, pleasing Jesus every day.

Colors:  Green and white, which stand for growth and purity.

Daisies Club:  For kindergarten girls

Darcy, Diana, and Dorie (paper dolls) help Daisies make life applications from the Bible stories and principles they learn. Daisies earn colorful badges depicting these club characters as they complete requirements for the achievement program. Four-week units allow visitors to fit in right away. Club sponsors and girls select the nine units they want to complete during the year.

Distinctives

Pledge:  As a Daisy I will be happy, good, and helpful, letting my light shine for Jesus.


Motto:  Daisies tell about Jesus.


Verse:  Let your light... shine.   (Matthew 5:16 NIV)

Prims Club:  For first- and second-grade girls

Megan, Carmen, Kim, and Tonya guide Prims through life-application stories as the girls learn biblical principles. The Discovery Box stores lesson-related objects to be displayed during lesson time to make learning even more fun. Prims earn colorful badges depicting these club characters as they complete requirements for the achievement program. Units can be completed in 4 weeks. Only 18 units need to be completed in 2 years.

Girls make their way up the Stairway of the Stars achievement program as they complete units in the four worlds: The World of Truth (basic Christian doctrine), The World Around You (missions), The World About You (activities), and The World Within You (character development). Memorization, projects, and Bible reading are all a part of completing the achievement program as an Honor Star. Four-week units are supplemented with projects and Adventures.

Friends Club: For Middle School Age Girls

Friends Club provides discussion-oriented lessons to continue the Titus 2 principle of women mentoring young girls. Topics of study include the sanctity of life, accountability, commitment to Christ, life-controlling problems, purity, and choices. Units are made up of six lessons. Projects and Adventures add to each unit. The completion of unit requirements and Bible reading make a girl eligible to be a Friends Graduate.
