Girls

This 10-lesson curriculum targeted for high school freshmen and sophomores gives young women the opportunity to discuss and question who they are, who they want to be, and what God desires them to experience. While young men face many of the same issues, girls approach them in a very unique way, namely through their emotions and feelings.

Lessons use quotes, video clip suggestions, surveys, journaling, and Scripture to consider topics including emotions, self-image, guys, dating and sexuality, purity, limits versus potential, jealousy and gossip, and rites of passage.

Targeted for high school freshmen and sophomores, Girls presents 10 lessons dealing with what it means to be a young woman in Christ--in the midst of a confusing, image-driven society.
