We met once a week, first we had a lesson about women of the Bible, then we did a craft or recipe. I tried to get the Women of the Church involved. As often as we could, we would go to someones house and they would teach the girls the craft or recipe.
There were three levels. You can create as many as you wish.
The ranks were based on a point system. You can customize this to fit your group
They got points for coming, bringing visitors, saying verses, doing service projects, soulwinning, etc.
They could also get other awards. These were named after women of the Bible.
When they achieved the requirements, they received a bracelet with a charm for each women.
I got charms from the craft store (Deborah was a music note, Mary and Martha was a fork,
Esther was a crown, Hannah was praying hands)
