March - the Feast of Purim!

This month we will be celebrating the wonderful Feast of Purim!! Let's get ready to dress up in beautiful long gowns and enjoy dancing, singing and a special message from Queen Esther!

God blessed Queen Esther because she knew God and trusted in Him even when it was very hard to do. When you want to know someone, you talk to them, find out what they like, take time to be with them and listen to what they say, go where they go, you like and follow them! That's what we have to do with Jesus.

To do that, you have to read the Bible daily - it doesn't have to be a lot, just to hear God speak to you. Read books that help you learn more about God instead of watching cartoons, silly comedies and reality shows that keep you from Him.

Pray every day. When you wake up, pray the Lord's Prayer! If you don't know it, your Big Sis will teach you the Lord's Prayer in church. Pray strong whenever you feel lonely or need the help of Jesus, when you're scared, don't know what to do or you're scared.

Go to church on Sundays and Wednesdays - listen to the pastor's message, sit in front of the church and pay close attention because God will speak to you about your life.

Follow the example of women of God and forget about celebrities who become idols and gods for so many people in this world - actors, singers, bands, models. How can you learn more about God if you don't enjoy being like Him? Be a friend with girls who are also friends of God. If you are on any online communities, like and follow the things of God - church blogs, and things that will inspire your faith.

This month's tasks:

At least once a week, share something you know about Jesus in our Godllywood Girls group and tell why it is important in your life.
Wear an outfit that is both modern modest take a picture and send it to your Big Sis so we can post it on our blog.
Get to know your new friend-like-sister that your Big Sis will choose for you and record a video together that you share with your Big Sis to post on our blog, talking about what Jesus means to the both of you.

What is the Pre-Sisterhood?

Young girls from 6-14 who are members of either the UCKG or SiLC, are eligible to join this special group that nurtures and challenges them to grow and aspire to become women of God. They are challenged with spiritual and practical tasks, have fun gatherings once a month, have a Big Sis who oversees them and checks up on their development, and more than anything, they become strong in their character, faith and self-esteem.

The Pre-Sisterhood exists under the umbrella of the Godllywood organization that also includes the Sisterhood, and V-Woman groups. Ask in your local church branch if there is any Big Sis who can guide your daughter through a month of initiation to enter the group. For more answers, read the Q&A's in this link to the Godllywood group.

Godllywood Girls No-No's

As much as we want to believe that all our girls will automatically be wise in their choices and behavior, we know that a clear list of what not to do can help keep them stay on track. Moms and Big Sis's help your girls to stay away from these items here!

Black, blue, green or neon nail polish
Tattoos
Piercings
Tight pants
Jeans or sweats in church
Dresses or tops with low necklines
Peeling nail polish
Bad grades in school
Disrespecting parents
Disrespecting teachers
Gossip
Jealousy
Lying
Bullying
Flirting with boys
Laziness
Watching TV programs that promote immorality

Each time a Godllywood Girl is found to be practicing any of these items on the list, she will be given a strike. She has up to 5 strikes before she will be removed from the group. Her behavior and attitudes will determine if she is a natural, a mediocre, or a straggler.
