Just wanted to share one of our sessions with our girls. We have been trying to teach them about who they are and who God says they are. Eleanor (my co-leader) really wanted to do a session about how we are a success, not just the things we do but who we are! So, she actually prepared the whole of this special afternoon. She shared about what it means to be a success, how God delights in us for who we are and we presented each of the girls with a medal, which they then decorated.
Our girls love doing crafts, they might be noisy or distracted at other times, but during craft time they work almost silently.
Eleanor also made some yummy food, so that we could really celebrate with them. When they saw the table spread with party food they all asked who's birthday it was. After much guessing, we eventually told them it was because of them, that we are celebrating who they are.
The girls are all indulging - YUM, YUM
These are a few of the girls, we also asked Felipe (one of the great photographers here) to come and take some photos, so we can do a special craft with them another week
This is Eleanor and I - We are successes! We had a fun afternoon affirming these girls and sharing God's pleasure in who he made them to be.

Have you come across 'Messy Church'? It taps into the creativity in all of us, just as you are doing with your girls. It's amazing where your mind goes when your hands are making something meaningful.
What a great message - we all need to hear it and believe it! The girls' faces seemed to express something of what we trust they learnt. Mouthwatering goodies, too! Hope you're having a great time with FoL team.
Love, R and M
