Free ResourcesEaster As
CGIT groups prepare to celebrate Easter in their groups and at church, the
following resources may help you with your plans for this season. A good
place to start may be the Easter Exam below. Go
to your resources and find what you have on Easter; your Bible is a good
place to start. Bible Story Books are also good. The Greatest
Story Ever Told or The Passion Of Christ might be used. You can
use just the part that tells the Easter Story. Have the girls read or
watch whatever resource you choose and try to answer the questions on the exam
(link below). Then
read or show it again and help the girls find the answers to the questions. Easter

Purpose (Adobe PDF Document) United Nations International Day of Peace
The following information was downloaded from
www.janegoodall.org/peace-day
and included in the September 2006 Middy Media. A few ideas and guides
were included to help groups plan their own Peace Day. You can go to the
website for more information, projects, video clips, resources and even a press
release you can use to advertise your own event. History
of Peace Doves and Day of Peace About
the Roots & Shoots Program What
are Peace Initiatives? In 2002, United Nations Secretary-General,
Kofi Annan, appointed Dr. Jane Goodall a United Nations Messenger of Peace.
As a Messenger of Peace, Dr. Goodall encourages Roots & Shoots groups to act
as peace messengers by promoting peace in their own communities. According to the Roots & shoots
definition of peace, any group project that encourages better relationships
between individuals, a great understanding of different cultures and a more
balanced coexistence among people, animals, and the environment, qualifies as a
Peace Initiative. Roots & Shoots believes that peace means
caring for people, animals and the environment and realizing that your actions
have effects on all living things. An easy way to remember the definition
of peace is by using the acronym: PEACE - People, Environment,
Animals, Care, and Effect. Some Peace Project Ideas
The website www.janegoodall.org/peace-day also has instructions on how to build a six-foot Peace Dove, as well as small peace doves. Use this website to let others know about your projects. Show the world what you can do! Program Planning Here are some ideas to help you plan your
year and your week-to-week programs. What interests you? What would you like
to learn about? This is a list of some program ideas that we might use
this year. Check off the ideas that interest you or you are curious
about....
Did we miss anything? With regards to weekly planning, consider the
following items to create a framework for your plans: date of meeting,
announcements, meeting theme, items to be discussed and completed during the
meeting (this is referred to as the "program" for the meeting), items
to include for worship, items to include for wrapping up the meeting. Resources to Purchase Books These and other books are
available from: The Quilt of Life Life is a patchwork of separate
experiences that come together into a unified whole - much like a handmade
quilt. Author Mary Tatem takes that
theme and weaves it into one hundred devotionals, offering insight into
peaceful, successful, and godly living. God
is shown as the Designer of our days, the One who quilts the fabric of our
existence. Besides the encouraging
devotional material, The Quilt of Life includes a bonus feature:
practical tips for the quilter. There is Nothing Wrong With You For
Teens A self-help book specifically written for teens.
This book demonstrates to teens how we all are the product of our social
conditioning – we are own worst critics.
Readers are shown how to move past the self-hate we have been socialized
with, to regard ourselves, and to embrace their real, “authentic” selves.
They are encouraged to treat themselves with the compassion and
acceptance they extend to their best friends.
It includes effective tools and techniques for being good to and
supportive of oneself, as well as for ending self-hating communication with
parents and others in one’s life. Gathered Around
This
is a good resource for outdoor ministry like camping. God
for Beginners A
good bible study reference for your girls. A New Day, Peacemaking Stories and
Activities "It’s
the children who provide a refuge for peace." This message is carried
throughout the witty, delightful stories that make up this refreshing book. The
combined strength of Carolyn Pogue's peacemaking tales and Danka Gocova’s
vivid illustrations will remind both children and adults of the timeless lessons
of classical fairy tales. This book delivers a fresh, interesting and practical
approach for leaders who are teaching children about their role in making our
world a more peaceful place. Making Worship Real, A Resource for
Youth and Their Leaders Many youth attend church regularly without fully understanding what worship is
and why it is the central action of our faith. In Making Worship Real,
Aimee and Bill Buchanan, along with Jodi Martin provide effective new ways
for pastors, Christian educators, youth leaders, and youth themselves to help
young people learn about the various elements of worship. This accessible book
explains the significance of each part of worship and includes activities that
have been designed to help youth think creatively about worship. These engaging
activities can be used to plan worship services for Sunday mornings, weekend
retreats, youth Sundays, and nontraditional worship times. Most importantly,
this book is that rare resource that will help youth and their leaders
understand why worship is relevant while helping youth lead and participate in
worship using their own authentic voice. Audio Visual Resources available from AVEL
