Fall 2012

We made grape jelly and mixed berry jam in September.

We did "Baking with Pumpkin" in October.  We baked pumpkin muffins and also learned a bit about spices.  We also did pumpkin pasties, which is a hand held pie.

November we made a "Master Baking Mix" and bagged it up for our church food pantry to give out with a list of recipes.

December we had our Christmas Party.  We made easy toffee,  pictionary style games, and gift exchange.

Playing Catch Up

We had our award presentation at the annual Ladies Tea.

Over the summer we attempted to play volleyball, but we all were really bad. We did learn the basics of how to play, bumping and serving.We started a unit on Kindness also during the summer.

We had a slumber party at the beginning of September.

This fall we are continuing Kindness, by going through Mean Girls, by Hayley DiMarco

We started Personal Journal. We spent that meeting decorating our journals.

In October and November we made deviled eggs, and jello salads. The girls had to bring something to the church Thanksgiving Potluck.

Tonight we are going to make gifts in a jar. They can either make Bath Salts, Brownie mix, or both.

December we will meet just one time for our Christmas party. Instead of a gift exchange each girls is asked to bring 1 1/5 yards of fleece. We will be making fleece blankets as a mission project.

November Meeting

We are only meeting one time in November. Last night was our meeting. We made pumpkin muffins, and started learning about Gladys Aylward, missionary to China.

Gladys had tremendous faith and trust that God would take care of her. She crossed Europe and Asia by train during a war, with only a Bible, passport, train tickets, and £2. Gladys demonstrated great courage leaving all she knew to follow the Lord.

Would we have that much faith and courage?

We are using Christian Missionaries to Know Lapbook during our lesson time. This will fulfull the Missionary badge requirement. Another missionary study that would work great is Faithbooking: Missionary Biographies by Fortunately For You Books.
