Question for parents of teen girls
11
Wed, 11-08-2006 - 4:18pm

I've been asked to lead a Bible study for our teen girls. The majority of the group are 7th and 8th graders with a couple of 11th graders thrown in. I'm going to ask one of our college age girls to assist me with this.

I've been given free rein on the topic and this is where you come in. I would like to know what topics you would want taught to your DDs in a Bible study. Last year we did a series on dating and relationships so I really don't want to do that again. I'm sure this particular group of girls would love the chance to talk about boys but I want to help them to begin to realize that there is more to life than boys (I can see one of the girl's eyes rolling now).

So far the topics I've come up with include:
Body Image
Advent (plan to use a variety of art projects with this)
Women of the Bible (book called Bible B.A.B.E.S. designed for young women)
Parents (book called Stupid Parents)

Any other suggestions? I plan to present the girls on the youth council with a list of 6 or so topics for them to vote on.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to put together a final list and present it to the youth director, the pastor, and our female youth representative and see what happens from there. I'm really getting excited about this!!
