Starting Your C-7 Group, Part 1

This is the first in a series of posts that we hope will be helpful as you begin your own group. Please feel free to leave any questions in the comments below. We would love to help and encourage as you begin this journey with your own daughter or group of girls.

Starting Your C-7 Group

Just as each girl is “fearfully and wonderfully made,” her particular need for the Christian Charm Course is unique. The course was therefore created to grow with each girl as she matures in her relationship with Christ and begins to understand the difference between inner and outer beauty.

At the end of each chapter, she is encouraged to “Write from Her Heart” and reflect upon what she is learning. It truly is an individual’s journey done in community in either a one-on-one setting or in a group.

Pray, Ponder, and Plan

Whenever I prepare to lead a new group of girls, I pray for the Lord to reveal to me what their real needs are and how to meet them. As I ponder upon the scriptures, the lessons in the course, and what is happening in the media/world of girls today, I begin to make my plans. These are based on a balance of what is in the leader’s guide, the Word, and what I sense the girls need spiritually, emotionally, and practically.

We'd love to hear from you. Please leave us a comment with your ideas, thoughts, or questions.
