A.B. GIRLS

American Baptist girls in relationship, leadership and service is for girls in grades 3-12. We meet most Wednesday nights during the school year from 6:30-8:30 p.m. AB GIRLS is a ministry focused upon meeting the spiritual needs of girls as they move through the many changes their lives will take as they grow into adulthood. Why just girls? We all know that girls and boys are different and, at times, have very different needs. We also know that sometimes youth are less inclined to speak up in mixed crowds, and often hold back from sharing their true feelings around boys and men. AB GIRLS ministry Is designed to complement the Christian Education and youth ministry programs in our congregation. AB GIRL S is a way for girls to have the opportunity to deal with tough questions honestly, to build close relationships with each other, and to build a program that will meet their particular needs as growing women of faith.

We collect a Love Gift Offering each week (counting our every blessing); Campbell’s Labels (bar codes) for Education; Hotel-sized toiletries for mission projects; and used eyeglasses for Haiti. We participate in both overland and overseas White Cross projects. We send cards of encouragement to shut-ins and overseas missionaries, and most importantly, we pray.

Our covenant: Remembering the words of Christ who said, “I am the Light of the world,” and also “You are light of the world.” I promise to grow in Christ, to share my gifts of time and money, talents and prayer, and to serve with others in God’s world, so that the Light of Life may shine through me.
