On Friday 5 May, we kicked off Shine 2017 with 24 lovely Year 11 ladies. This year our team of facilitators has grown from three to four to accommodate our growing numbers of girls. Kristina Dart, Erin Coleman and Donna Newell are working with me to make Shine happen for our girls. I am so thankful to these ladies for the time and effort they are giving up to make Shine so special for the girls.
We had a fantastic first session looking at our intrinsic value and the way God has designed us all uniquely with incredible value and worth. We practically valued one another by using homemade lemon and sugar hand scrub to exfoliate one another’s hands. We also sipped on homemade lemonade and ate yummy lemon and poppy seed muffins whilst discussing some of the ways in which we can impact our immediate community when we value one another and ourselves properly.
The team and myself are so excited to journey alongside this beautiful bunch of Year 11 ladies for the next 8 sessions of Shine. We have lots of exciting things planned to come!
