July’s Chicktime workshop was called Summer Fun and it was fun!!!

Shawna led the Water Fun and the girls had a blast getting sprayed with the water hose and running relay races.

Corrina led Mini Edible Arrangements. The girls really loved cutting the fruit with cookie cutters and making beautiful arrangements that they could eat later.

Lindsay led the Bracelet Making station. The girls were very creative with the colors they chose and the bracelets were beautiful.

We had a great turnout of volunteers. Thanks to everyone who came out to enjoy the day with the New Life girls.

We had an amazing time sharing our passion of giving back with the girls at Casa de Amparo through making blankets for Project Linus.

Serving others produces abundant joy and purposeful lives that lets us live outside ourselves; our issues, and circumstances. It transports our hearts, minds and souls into a state of peace, gratitude and joy.

This is what we do every second Saturday of the month. Please come join us in giving back at our August Event! We will be sharing our love for summer fun.

We Can’t Wait to See Everyone! We’ve missed YOU!

We are so thrilled! Corrina Green just joined our leadership team.

Greater things are still to come with Chicktime Canyon Lake at New Life and we believe Corrina’s leadership is just what we need to continue the work God has placed on our hearts.

What a fun workshop!

July Update:

A great way to cool down is to make homemade ice cream! At our super great Monday Funday, we played an M&M game to help us get to know each other better. We also talked about how important it was to talk & communicate with your babies. Then we made ice cream!

We would like to quote our amazing Jr. Chick, Pennie, when she said, ” This is the best thing I’ve ever had.” How cool is that?! We have 2 more baby girls coming in a few months & can’t wait to hold them! Stay tuned as the mamas have requested we make flashcards and/or games to play with the littles in the near future.

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.

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!
 Kelly Knight Muckenfuss brought her heat press
and we made customized t-shirts for the kids!
To see the smiles on their faces tonight was such a blessing!
In addition, there was a lot of one-on-one time spent with the kids
just talking about their interests and some basketball, of course!
My heart is sooo full with the outpouring of love shown tonight
for these kids! #iamenough

The ladies enjoyed sports day. It rained so we moved it inside and played table tennis.
Our tournament was one for the books.

After Renee Smith taught us how to make flower crowns.
The perseverance paid off and we finally finished the crowns.
The finished product was beautiful.

We then proceeded to our first Chicktime birthday party.
Each girl received a pink bag with coloring books, pencils, and journals.
The house received towels and art supplies.
Leader Stephanie made the cupcake cake. It was perfectly moist and delicious.
