Spring is springing…or almost…or we hope it will soon…but spring means Appleseeds! The age 8-12 version of Apples of Gold. Appleseeds is a six week mentoring program for girls. Throughout the six weeks they will learn some practical domestic skills (cooking, baking, setting tables), some manner lessons (table manners, posture) and spiritual lessons (who God is, who we are, how to live in our culture).
I am exciting about this starting again this year. Some extra excitement for me is that I am going to get to mentor girls to mentor girls. There are some older teen girls who will be helping out in a variety of capacities, passing on what they have learned as they’ve gone through the teen years to girls just a few steps behind them. I think this is getting a bit closer to the Titus 2 model of women teaching younger women. Each of us are younger than someone and older than someone so we can both be mentored and mentor. I am as excited to see how the teen girls will learn and grow as the actual participants themselves!
As Appleseeds approaches I will keep you updated on some of the topics we will be discussing. Thanks for your prayers.
