Art for Worship

Describe it...  
We had art for worship. We collaged and painted our praises and prayers. We also painted the name of each girl on the floor on a construction paper and wrote encouraging things on them telling them to finish strong because it was around the end of the year and put them on their doors. We also had some snacks.

7 girls

 email, facebook, posters in bathroom and hallway

Set-Up:
my SLA helped set-up

Clean-Up

$ (insert event cost here)
used money from returning pop-cans to buy snacks (about $12)

Positive Outcomes: 
it was a good time to just take a break and focus on God and focus on encouraging each other amidst the craziness of the end of the year. And I'm pretty sure the girls liked the encouraging words put on their doors.  

What would you have done differently
Not much really.  

Would You Do This Activity Again?  
Yea!! :)

Serve / Hang-out at Floor Mom's Home

Positive Outcomes: 
it was a fun time with the girls! It was kind of nice that it was a small number of girls because we got to know a bit about each other and just have fun. It was also a blessing for our floor mom for us to be there because she lives by herself. We had a good time! :)  

What would you have done differently
Not much really. Maybe advertised it a bit earlier  

Would You Do This Activity Again?  
For sure! :)
