The Sewing Ladies have returned!

Armed with sewing machines and nerves of steel, our Sewing Ladies have returned! Lu Burkell and Jane Breeze worked on patterns, organized the donated fabrics and made a sample apron. Linda Swank, Barbara Hays, Sue Price and Carol Knowles also returned from their "tour of duty" last year. The girls were so glad to see them all! They love working one on one.

Girls Club turns into a nail spa!

Last Friday was manicure day, as the girls soaked, filed, trimmed and finally painted their nails. The french tips came out great, and the designs were very creative. Angela chose tiny shamrocks, Emily liked the paw prints, Dianneth has rainbow swirls, and Ana picked stars.

We ended the day with the Bible lesson on the different parts of the body, based on 1 Corinthians 12, learning how all are important. Working in pairs, they were given a slip of paper with a part of the body on it. They then had to explain why their body part was the most important. The girls learned that just as many different people make up the body of Christ, so all the parts of the body work together, each one as important as the others. God created us all and He loves diversity!

The finished "works of art", each one as individual as the girls themselves!

Jewelry Class by Ashley and Katie

Lu Burkell's two granddaughters visited Girls Club to show the girls how to make earrings. Ashley and Katie, 12 and 14, had a great time helping the girls select colors and construct their earrings. They all had a great time!
