Taylor Mill Bright Lights 2017

This spring, God put it on Elizabeth's heart to host a Bright Lights discipleship group for the young girls in our church.  Though there are quite a few other girls the right ages, it worked for five girls to be a regular part of the group, which met seven times over the summer.

Elizabeth led the Bible Study and Emily was her helper.  At each meeting they sang, studied a lesson, prayed, and had tea and snacks.  The girls seemed to really enjoy the time together.  Most of the time, Bright Lights was held at our house, though the church fellowship hall was also used.  Elizabeth put a lot of work into each lesson to make them interesting, applicable, and memorable.

Here are a couple pictures from the second Bright Lights tea time in June:

The seventh and last meeting was held at church.  First, the girls had lunch together, sang together at the nursing home service in the afternoon, and practiced a special song for the evening service.

 There you can see their fun personalities a little better...
the girls wanted to know what it felt like to be in the pulpit like a preacher.

 and celebratory brownies and ice cream...Yum, yum!

 Singing "Who Will Shine God's Light?" in the evening service.

 (We had a missionary speaker, so that's why the screen and projector were there.)

They were a real blessing at the nursing home and at church!
