September Update

Loving Me and God’s Love was the theme this month.  Lora Williams put together a team of workshop leaders that shared their own personal experience to show the young girls at New Life hope for the future.  Lora led the Loving Me station where she about growing up in a culture of drugs and abuse and how she was saved to become the person she is today.  She explained that the past and what happened in it does not define who you choose to be.  The session had lots of laughter and tears. Diane talked to the girls about Loving Me Through Relationships.  This was valuable and thought provoking information for all of us.  Finally, Jarisha shared The Depth of God’s Love.  Her story is one to which so many of the girls and volunteers can relate.  Thank you to our excellent leaders and volunteers for making it a positive and hopeful Chicktime experience for the girls.

Good News! We are excited to announce that the Chicktime movement is coming to Fairfax! If you would like more info about how you can bring joy to the children of our community, contact Tricia at fairfax@chicktime.com today and keep watching this page and our Facebook for more info!

September Update:

Today’s Chicktime workshop was a fun-led seat and an incredible time with the young ladies of LYS-New Beginnings It was hot, but our instructor ( Sehrish, far right) was amazing in her Zumba craft.

Not only did we work up a sweat, Sehrish gave us the confidence to move  into next week with a positive body image and good attitude.

If you haven’t joined us already for a workshop, please do.  We need volunteers! Paperwork/volunteer orientation is needed to participate, due to our interaction with minors…but it’s so worth it.

September Update:

One of the most beautiful things about Chicktime Kansas City is the we are consistent women in the lives of the teen girls living at Cornerstones fo Care-Ozanam Campus. They know us… they know they can come to our monthly workshops tired, wounded, angry, happy, or use come for the treats we serve.It doesn’t matter. We are always excited to see them. We want them to know they matter to us.

We had wonderful September workshop leaders who provided a growth mindset activity for the girls. We also enjoyed floats and treat bags!

September Update:

We had another successful workshop yesterday at the #alabamabaptistchildrenshome 🏡 As Lynn lead the volunteers in a closing prayer, we could hear the chatter and laughter of our babies in the background and it instantly filled my heart with joy.

The kids had fun, they know how much the ladies of Chicktime Dothan LOVE them, and they will reflect on these moments in the years to come.

This group of volunteers, as well as the house parents Mike and Heidi, play such an instrumental part in the character development of the children that reside at the home and I am so appreciate of each one of them. If we want to make a difference in the world we live, we must begin with our children and these ladies (and Mike!) are faithful servants.

September Update:

Our Chicktime Carnival was INCREDIBLE!

We aren’t sure what the girls liked most….the bouncy house, face painting, the games and candy prizes…or maybe it was the yummy hotdogs, lemonade, popcorn, snow cones , and cotton candy.

From the looks of joy on their faces we feel it’s safe to say they enjoyed ALL OF IT! Even the staff was surprised at such an “over the top” show of love to the Krause Children’s Center.

Chicktime was even able to bless them twice..the extra popcorn was donated for a treat at their movie night that same day.

And our amazing group of volunteers had just as much fun!

In fact we all were having so much fun, we forgot to take pictures until the very end.

Come be a blessing ! We will be back next month!

The girls at Vista Maria had so much fun crafting a back to school notebook on Saturday. Their creativity is out of this world!! Praying they start their school year strong!

September Update:

We had such a wonderful  time at our September workshop wth the girls at Elks Aidmore. Our leaders got to share stories that connected with the girls. We may not have the same exact story as the girls, but we have known hurts and have overcome them and are overcoming  them still. The girls totally connected with the stories. We were amazed at how silent the room was as we shared our experiences. It was amazing to share with them.

We played fun trivia games and spent some time coloring.

We had snacks, we laughed, cried, and had a really great time. We love being involved with Chicktime more and more. We would love for you to join us.

One of the most beautiful things about Chicktime San Antonio is that we are consistent women in the lives of the teen girls living at Boysville! They know us… they know they can come to our monthly workshops tired, wounded, angry, happy, or just come for the food we serve!

It doesn’t matter! We want to see them and we want to be with them. We want them to know they matter to us!

This morning we gathered with a smaller group than usual to play bingo!

We had prizes that ranged from nail polish, bath soaps, craft supplies and snacks- to a Sonic gift card for the “Black out Bingo” winner! Even the house parents played with us!

 We enjoyed tortilla sandwich rolls, chips, a veggie tray and cookies together too!

We ended our time together like we always do- circled up… holding hands… and praying together. These sweet girls need to know above all- God is with them and lives in their heart. It is our wish they see HIM in us!
Please pray for Boysville… the staff and children!
We will be back at Boysville, September 15th for our next workshop. Join us-

August Update:

Our Essential Oil Event was a great time with our girls at Canopy. Carolyn explained the value of the oils and there unique properties and applications. She compared them to the unique gifts and callings that God the Father put inside each of His children. The girls chose their favorite scents and created their own unique spritzer for their rooms as well as a sachet for their drawers. Of course, as always, they feasted on homemade snacks including chips with sausage dip, chocolate chip cookies, banana bread, and wonderful gooey cakes! Thanks to our team of dedicated ladies who pray, prepare food and love on girls every month, the girls were able to experience the love and kindness of our precious Father again. Our thanks, also, to the staff of Canopy who assist us every week to be able to spend time with the girls for Bible Study, as well, as the fun time event each month. During our previous Tuesday evening Bible Study, several of the girls testified to having a life changing encounter with Jesus. One of the girls said, “I wasn’t sure He was real before, but I know now that He is.” Several days later I asked her how she was doing and she said she was not depressed anymore! God is so good!

August Update:

It's our favorite weekend of the month...when we get to visit Grace House!

Our hearts are full...

I am chosen, holy, and blameless before God.

It’s back to school time!  What a great bunch of volunteers to come out and spend time with the girls getting them all geared up for school!  Lori and Katy led the activities this month.  We had a fun station making slap bracelets, and really cute book marks.  Lot’s of stamping supplies were provided to make the activity very creative.  In Chapel a nice relaxing Yoga session was going on with lots of participation.  What a great way to chill out before the busy school year starts.  In the gym we had an expert teach us about creative ways to journal.  The girls were taught that journaling can be a great way to express your feelings, thoughts and ideas.  Thanks to all our volunteers for the great activities and participation.

July Update:

Our Summer festival was simply….beautiful!
God showed up in a big, big way.

The kids smiled and laughed so much. A good time was had by all!

.
Blessed and thankful That God always provides for Chicktime and His babies!

These beautiful children need someone to believe in them. Today we told an oldest boy of a sibling group of 3 that when he grew up he could come back and lead activities like this to love and encourage other children. You could tell he understood the love and hope that could bring and he became our all day helper! It’s as simple as that to make a difference in a child’s life.
