December balloons!!

Well, what can you say about our December GNO?

It was beast, beastiest of the beast!!!

At the beginning of the night, the room had about 500 balloons in it.

After

Lots and Lots and LOTS

of NOISE and SCREAMING and LAUGHTER...


only latex pieces all over the place!


What a crazy fun time to hang out, eat and laugh and play!!!


Plus, we talked more about our theme verse - "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." This time in conjunction with movies. We again learned that what we put into our minds, invest ourselves in, and spend time doing is what we tend to become like. We saw and talked about some examples of movies that lead us toward Godliness and some that lead us away. We also learned that many times the influence that these types of things have on us is not something we see at first. We even talked about ways to guard ourselves from harm and bad influences and to help each other to treasure the best, so our heart will move toward the best!!!


In short, it was a great time!!


We will be hanging out again on February 3rd, March 16th and April 13th - all 7-10PM unless you are otherwise informed!


hope to see you there!!!

Fall and Fantastic Females!!!!

Hey Girls! Well, it was a fantastic fall party for GNO this last Friday. It was crazy and wild and leafy!! There was flashlight tag and frenzied leaf pile diving! And, of course, there was great food!

Plus, we had a great time learning following after Luke 12:34 about how music and what we listen to can have a big impact on our lives - we heard some examples of music that seems so perky and fun, but the words begin to lead us to believe things that will be harmful to us. And some music that was awesome and the words helped us grow closer to God too. We made plans to look at the words out of our music much more closely in the future, remembering that what we put into our minds (our treasure) will often be what we become (our heart).

We will be hanging out again DECEMBER 9th - mark your calendars, tell your parents!!!!!!!

7-10PM!

Upcoming Dates for GNO - Mark Your Calendars!!!!!

A Review of AWESOME!!

Hey Girls!!

We had an awesome time on the 9th! We spent some time just talking about all we have talked about in the last fantastic year of GNO!!

We then started making a list of the things we will stand for:
1) We will not gossip - we will not talk behind other peoples' backs
2) We will embrace the differences between us - we are glad we are all unique
3) We will encourage each other for the way God made us
4) We will include all who join us, and work to exclude no one.
5) We will put good things into our bodies, our minds, our souls.
6) We will spend time investing in things that will make us more like God made us
to be


We then went crazy, and fired up the nerf guns for the annual GNO Nerf Gun War!!!!

It is amazing how fun controlled nerfy violence can be! Thank goodness for goggles!

As always, we had great food, and great times - enjoying fantastic girls!

YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

What do you get when you mix ice cream and a giant slip & slide?

Well, i guess that pretty well summarizes last night's craziness here!!!

There was ice cream and toppings in more places than anyone had seen before! It was a fantastic fun time - crazy and fun!

What's funny too is that the time of sharing we had was all about where our treasure is: Nutrition and Health!!! How funny is that? Talk about nutrition ans health and then thorw ice cream at each other!!!!


It was good to be together - 6th-8th grade girls all dedicated to the ideas of GNO - not gossiping and trying to form positive relationships where we all work together to be the best we can be. We learned about how putting good healthy food into us and being active and getting plenty of exercise is a way that we treasure who we are and who God is making us - obviously based on the activities of the night, it is not that we can never have chocolate or ice cream or play video games, but that we need balance in our lives.


We will be posting the next date for GNO soon!! So stay tuned!

It's only 1 week from TODAY!!

Hey ladies! 1 week from today, July 8th, 7-10 PM, will be a most fantastic GNO!!

Please plan to bring swimwear and a towel...and some massive amounts of energy!

Hope to see you there!!

Pix from 5-20

Here some pix of some amazing girls having a fantastic time last Friday!!!

Can you say "SMORES?"

Well, it was a great time Friday night - running around, being crazy and eating yummy smores around the campfire!

It was great to hang out and just relax - no pressure, no finals, no nothing, but some girls wanting to really be what God is making them to be!!

We learned about "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." and watched clips from "The Blind Side" and talked about how what we put into ourselves, expose ourselves to, and involve ourselves with, makes a huge impact on who we become!

In coming months we will be talking about a variety of things that influence us, trying to make sure that we place our treasure in the right place...

and

of course


WE WILL HAVE TONS OF FUN!!

Hope to see you in June - check back for the June date soon!

Hey Girls! If you are planning on coming tomorrow, make sure you bring some clothes that will be warm enough in case it gets chilly - we will be outside most of the night!! Get ready for some FUN!

Last Friday Was AWESOME!!!

Hey girls! What a great time everyone had last Friday night!!! We had soooo much fun in the AMAZING RACE!! (even though some people said having to eat pickles was just plain rude!)

We also had a great time of talking and encouraging each other as we talked about how God made all of us differently - sometimes we all want to be like everybody else, but on this particular night, we learned that often it is the differences between us that the other people in our lives really think are cool about us and it was great to hear each other share some of these things!

We are going to be getting together May 20th - 7-10PM and hope all of you can make it! If you need info, please let us know, or post on this blog!

Hope to see you there!
