Chicktime Fort Worth at Camp Heart!

Chicktime Fort Worth devotes their time and shares their love every year at Camp Heart! Camp heart is a weekend camp that serves children who have experienced domestic violence. Typically they will have 20 children, ages 8-12. Volunteer hours are very flexible. You can spend the whole weekend, one night, or just during the day helping with activities. The kids participate in support groups as well as outdoor activities like fishing, canoeing, and cookouts. What a blessing Chicktime Fort Worth is for supporting such a wonderful ministry outside of their monthly workshops.

We all benefited from this!

Please help us welcome Kimberly to the Leadership team at Chicktime Katy!  Kimberly is excited to help Chicktime Katy grow their chapter, serve the teens at Krause, and spread hope through Chicktime workshops!

May Update:

Even though the staff does a phenomenal job facilitating healing, sometimes the loneliness of missing their families is hard for the New Life Girl’s as they recover from abuse and neglect. Especially during holidays. What a blessing it was to be with them Mother’s Day Weekend and share the opportunity to let go of their emotions through art, yoga, preparing meals for the food bank, and making a little something for themselves to keep. Thank you to all of the passionate women who came out and shared their love and talents with the girls. It made a difference. If you would like to impact the next generation please save the date for our June Chicktime event and plan to attend!

May Update:

For May we had a feast of great homemade desserts, as usual, and enjoyed fellowshipping with the girls before it was time to make our craft. At the beginning of every meeting (we have 5 a month counting bible study) we make sure to hug each young lady. Some are so expecting to receive their hug they make their way to us with open arms as soon as they arrive. Others are a little shy about it but seem happy enough to “put up “ with it. 😉. It’s so important to us that they feel loved. Not only do we demonstrate that love but tell them all the time that Jesus loves them and so do we. For our craft we made “no sew” pillows out of fleece. The pillows looked great when they were done and the girls seemed very pleased with themselves for doing such a good job. I used the pillow to talk about being connected to Jesus and resting in His love for us. Also tying in the comfort of the Holy Spirit is like the soft support of the pillow. We had a great time!

May Update:

This past Saturday a workshop with the kids of D.A. Blodgett – St. John’s was all about finances! 🤑

The first hour was spent talking about money, paychecks, checks, and stocks🏦
The second hour was spent playing this game and the kids had a blast!!

May Update:

Boysville was gifted recreation money for the entire campus. The only time to use it at a paintball center was during our normal Chicktime Saturday. We were asked to not come in May so the girls could attend the outing with the campus.

We will meet up in June with the same activity.

May Update:

Chicktime Sacramento wants to leave a legacy… A legacy of love and hope given to the least of these!

May Update:

Today we had tons of fun with our group co-leader Hannah FC guiding us through the activity! We went outside with the girls and took photos of the items on the scavenger hunt list.

One of my favorite prompts on this list was “take a picture of something that represents your culture or heritage!” Really creative activity that allowed us to bond as a group.

Now it’s your turn to get outside today and snap some photos! 📸 Happy Saturday!

Wow! The best word I can think of to describe Chicktime Moncks Corner tonight
at Callen-Lacey Home for Children!

WOW!!! Chicktime showed up and showed out for May’s Event.
This month the girls were introduced to Meditation.
The two techniques we focused on was MINDFULNESS
(being in the moment) and BREATHING.
There was GREAT participation in the exercises that were demonstrated.
Most of the girls mentioned that these techniques
would be helpful in relieving stress and anxiety.
Chicktime focused on changing their stress to a smile 😊
and we were successful in doing so.
After the meditation session, the girls were surprised
with an ICE CREAM Social with lots of toppings.
I want to thank you to all my volunteers for making this a great and memorable event.
