February Update:
We were so blessed to have Texas State Women in Medicine join us for Chicktime New Braunfels’ February workshop! 
After gathering around a warm dinner of chicken spaghetti, salad, green beans, and rolls, the real fun began — sugar cookies, frosting, sprinkles everywhere, and lots of laughter. The youth decorated their masterpieces with such creativity… and then happily enjoyed every sweet bite!
It was one of those beautiful evenings where serving felt like pure joy. Young women showing up tonhang iut with awesome youth-
sitting shoulder to shoulder, sharing a meal, listening, laughing — it’s a reminder that sometimes ministry looks like frosting-covered fingers and full hearts.
“Let all that you do be done in love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:14
And that’s exactly what it was — love served at the table.

“ Look for the helpers, you will always find people who are helping” Mr Roger’s mom
Chicktime Galveston honored “ the helpers” at Friends of Pregnancy Help Center of Galveston for our February Workshop.
These ladies work incredibly hard to keep the Center going!
They pour their hearts into each and every family that seeks their help.
We pray that God will minister to their hearts…
And that He will provide for all their needs and that He would place a hedge of protection around their families and all those they love.
That He will allow their hearts to be at peace so they are able to hear His still small voice as He whispers and heals all the places where they need healing.
*The picture is of Onesies made by Barb Friel one of my Chicktime sisters “ Jesus loves me” stitched into each one. Thank you Barb!!
Thank you, Jennifer Johnson for your donation to help us bless our helpers.

February Update:
Samantha is in med school and brought her passion and knowledge to our Chicktime workshop this month!
In line with the Valentine month theme, she led the girls in a STEM activity to learn the parts of the heart and demonstrated the flow of blood in and out of the heart. Then she provided the girls with play dough to form their own version of a heart. She also gave them heart shaped note pads and stress balls. The girls each shared something new that they learned from the fun experience!
We had some extra time together so we gathered in a large circle and each of our volunteers took turns engaging the group in a game of their choice.
We played Laughter Yoga, Simon Says, Little Sally Walker, and Ghosts in the Graveyard. So much fun and tons of laughs!
Please reach out if you’re interested in volunteering next month!

Change in plans at Chicktime Little Rock, but not the fun!We were scheduled to host our monthly workshop this week, but due to a mix-up in communication, our friends at Immerse already had plans. So instead of canceling completely, we did what Chicktime Little Rock does best…we adjusted with grace.We dropped off the food, then gathered together for some much-needed Chicktime bonding time filled with chips, dips, tacos, laughter, and sisterhood.Because serving together also means strengthening the community within our own chapter.Thank you to everyone who rolled with the change and showed up with flexibility and joy.Stay tuned….details for next month’s workshop are coming soon, and we’re excited about what’s ahead!
Chill and Grill - *al-birmingham
February Update:
Chicktime Birmingham celebrated the month of love with cupcake and cookie decorating.
There’s something so special about sitting around a table, visiting together, spreading icing and sprinkles — simple moments that remind us what Chicktime workshops are truly all about.
We want the residents at the Alabama Baptist Children’s Home to always feel our workshops are like family.
That warmth, that belonging, that love — we pray it’s present every single time we show up.
And we’ll keep showing up, because that’s what we’re called to do.
We would love for you to join us one month.
“Let all that you do be done in love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:14 💗
Bowling & Bumper Cars - *tx-mission
February Update:
We were blessed beyond measure at Chicktime Mission’s February Family Fun Night!
Nineteen family members showed up ready to laugh, bowl, play, and simply be together — and the energy in the room was contagious.
Add in five fabulous volunteers who came with open hands and joyful hearts, and it felt like pure electricity. You could see it in the smiles, hear it in the laughter, and feel it in every high-five and shared moment.
It’s honestly hard to put into words just how special the night was.
It wasn’t just fun — it was connection. It was encouragement. It was showing up in the simple, beautiful way we’re called to do. When we make space for families to breathe, laugh, and feel supported, we are living out what it means to be His hands and feet.
The only thing missing? A big group picture to capture it all. But maybe that just means we’ll have to do it again soon!
Food, Fun and Fellowship - *tx-sanantonio
February Update:
Chicktime San Antonio’s February workshop was absolutely scrumptious in every way!
Our longtime Chicktime volunteer, Kelly, has been leading our February workshop for more years than we can count — we’re pretty sure it’s been way over 10! Her passion is cooking, so naturally our theme was “Cooking with Kelly-
And she did not disappoint.
Kelly threw the most incredible pizza party for the girls at Boysville Children’s Home. They didn’t just top pizzas — they made them from scratch! From watching the yeast rise, to rolling out dough into (mostly ) perfect circles, to layering homemade sauce, Italian sausage, hamburger, red onion, bell pepper, pepperoni, and lots of cheese — it was hands-on, flour-covered, joy-filled fun.
But what made the day truly beautiful wasn’t just the pizza.
It was the conversations.
The kitchen talk while making pizzas we shared favorite foods, sweet stories and around the table while eating our pizza we had tender, honest moments.
There is something sacred about breaking bread together — especially when you made it with your own hands. You can see it in the girls’ faces… how intentional time, laughter, and consistency speak louder than we realize.
And before we even took a bite, it was the girls who reminded us that we needed to pray. So instead of closing in prayer, we paused right there — blessing the food, praying over the girls, the volunteers, and Boysville. We are so grateful for our sweet volunteer , Geneva, who loves to lead us boldly in prayer.
In a world that feels loud and chaotic, we can tell you this: for a few sacred hours once a month, we feel His goodness. We see His faithfulness. We know that showing up matters.
We hope you’ll join us one month soon. There is a seat at the table waiting for you.
“Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him.” — Psalm 34:8

Our February workshop led by Nailah and Karla was literally sweet and loads of fun! The girls at Miracal’s Place learned about and was able to personalize their very own ESSA (Emotional Support Stuffed Animal) with Kandi.

We want to sincerely thank all of our volunteers for everything – including the sweet treats and fabulous fragrances! May you be richly blessed!

Double Up - *nm-farmington
February Update:
Our cookie decorating workshop turned into so much more than icing and sprinkles — it became a space for laughter, stories, and genuine connection. The children have so much love to give, and you could see how deeply they appreciated the simple gift of attention.
Can you imagine how special it feels to them when someone who isn’t paid… just shows up? Just to sit. Just to listen. Just to hang out.
That’s the heart behind what we do. And it’s the reason we keep inviting you to come join us. Because sometimes the greatest gift we give is simply showing up.

Scrapbooking - *tx-uvalde
February Update:
Chicktime’s February workshop at the Big Springs Ranch for Children was such a beautiful success.
We spent the day with 9 incredible young ladies, and it was a powerful reminder that when women come together with intention and heart… real impact happens. This is what it’s about — community, showing up, and pouring love where it’s needed most. Together, we are stronger. And the more women who step in, the more love we’re able to give.
We made trucker hats, decorated cookies, created friendship bracelets, shared laughs, and enjoyed pizza together — simple moments that build trust, confidence, and connection in ways that truly matter.
I want to give a big, heartfelt thank you to the amazing women who joined me: Katy N Yb, Judy F. Estrada, Denise Longoria, Karina, Megan Gzls, and Rosanna Scott + Dulce Mari.
You showed up with open hearts and willing hands, and you made a real difference. Your time, your presence, and your love did not go unnoticed.
And to any woman reading this — you are needed here. You don’t have to be perfect, you don’t have to have all the answers… you just have to be willing to show up. One conversation, one workshop, one act of kindness can impact a child more than you may ever realize.
If you missed this one, don’t worry. Chicktime Smalltown hosts workshops almost every month. Follow along for updates, come join us, or even consider hosting one yourself. Chicktime will guide you every step of the way.
All these kids need is your time and your heart.
Spring Is Here - *tx-sacentral
February Update:
We had the sweetest time hosting our Valentine’s workshop with the children at Roy Maas Youth Alternatives! The highlight of the day was a fun decoupage activity led by Ms. Jamie, where each child created their very own heart-shaped canvas. The kids were such a delight, carefully picking out the materials they wanted to use and joyfully designing their unique works of art. Their creativity truly shined through every piece.
Ms. Samantha and Ms. Jamie, worked alongside the children, helping them glue their designs onto their hearts and bringing each masterpiece to life. It was a beautiful day full of creativity, kindness, and Valentine’s cheer that everyone will remember fondly. All of our hearts were filled engaging with the children and hearing the chatter and laughter filling the room.
The children were also treated to some wonderful Valentine’s goody bags filled with treats and a couple of fun activities, one of which Ms. Sandra couldn’t wait to show them how to play!!
And of course, Valentine’s day wouldn’t be as sweet without everyone getting to enjoy treats brought by Ms. Jamie, which included chocolate covered cookies, cupcakes, drinks and some pretty cool Fruity Pebble covered strawberries—yum! It was a joyful and love-filled celebration that everyone truly enjoyed. Thank you Ms. Samantha for always showing up for the kiddos, you add so much warmth and love to our events!!

February Update:
We had the sweetest time at Chicktime Nashville celebrating Galentine’s with the girls at Youth Villages!
We gathered around tables covered in magazines and dreams, creating vision boards and speaking life over one another. We reminded the girls that their futures are not defined by their past, but by a God who makes all things new.
Each girl was also treated to a facial self-care kit — a small but meaningful way to say, You are seen. You are valued. You are worthy of care.
We truly believe this is what it looks like to be His hands and feet — showing up, loving well, and planting seeds of hope.
Our next event is March 14 at Youth Villages.
Would you consider joining us? Just a couple of hours once a month can be life-changing — for the girls and for you. There is something powerful about saying “yes” to serving.
Come be the village. Come love boldly.

God’s Love - *ms-jackson
January Update:
Our January gathering at Chicktime Jackson was a joyful celebration filled with meaning, laughter, and love.
Because we don’t meet in December, we hosted a late Christmas party—and it was worth the wait! Each girl received a Christmas card with a monetary gift, and we also celebrated five birthdays this month. The birthday girls were honored with an additional card and gift, making the day extra special.
Each participant received an oil lamp, symbolizing the lamps in the parable of the ten virgins. We read the story together, talked about its meaning, and then—true Chicktime style—acted it out as a play! It was lighthearted, engaging, and fun, yet the message was clear and meaningful: we are called to be ready for Jesus when He returns.
We shared a wonderful feast together—pulled pork, dinner rolls, green salad, potato salad, chips, brownies, cupcakes, and cookies. It truly felt like a celebration of both Christmas and life.
To wrap up the day, the girls created custom bracelets, choosing from a beautiful variety of stones and jewels. Each bracelet was unique—just like them—and a sweet reminder of a day spent together in joy and fellowship.
It was a fun, meaningful, and love-filled day—one we’ll be smiling about for a long time

For our January workshop, Elizabeth shared the neatest idea using old costume jewelry!
Each girl picked her board to decorate and then a bag of jewelry. It was fun watching them be creative and also kind, swapping different pieces with each other.
One bag had a watch and the girl got SO excited about it because s
he had never seen a watch that was not digital. We also took time coloring and decorating Valentine’s cards for the elderly.
As always, we had great conversations with the girls and a blast hanging out!

They had so much fun decorating their journals with stickers and making each one unique. Ms. Krystal, Ms. Johanna, and Ms. Samantha spent time alongside the kids, chatting with them about the stickers they chose and what they meant to them, turning simple moments into meaningful conversations.
With donuts and snacks to share, the room was filled with laughter, creativity, and connection. Days like these remind us how powerful it can be to simply show up, listen, and create space for kids to feel seen and supported

Just Having Fun - *tx-mission
January Update:
Another Sweet Night of Family Fun at Chicktime Mission! We had the joy of hosting another family fun night with some truly incredible people—families who open their hearts and homes to provide safe, loving spaces for children in our community. Every month we walk away reminded of the same thing: this is such a blessing. We don’t show up for recognition or applause—but we’d be lying if we said it doesn’t fill our hearts to know that a few hours of laughter, bowling, pizza, and connection can offer these families meaningful respite and encouragement. Caring for children takes special people, and it’s an honor to come alongside them. And here’s the best part—we’ll be back next month… and the month after that… and the month after that. We’re always looking for volunteers to join us as volunteer hosts. What does that look like? • Holding a baby so a mom can bowl • Sitting with a family over pizza and telling them, “You’re doing an amazing job.” • Simply showing up and being present Yes, financial partners help make these nights possible—but volunteer hosts and prayer partners are just as vital. Your presence matters more than you know. If you’ve been looking for a simple, meaningful way to serve—this is it. Come once. Come often. Come see how love in action changes hearts (including your own).
“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” — 1 Peter 4:10 Come serve with us. Come belong. |

Hey Galentine - *ga-conyers
January Update:
Today was one of those days that stays with you.
Our Chicktime Vision Board Workshop at Elks Aidmore was filled with laughter, creativity, and so much heart. We shared sub sandwiches, fruit, and pigs in a blanket around the table—but what we really shared was something far more meaningful: hope, dreams, and connection.
Each girl created her own vision board, putting into pictures and words what she wants for this year and for her future. As they talked about their goals, their dreams, and who they hope to become, it was impossible not to feel how powerful it is when a young girl is given space to be seen, heard, and believed in.
These moments—sitting together, listening, encouraging, and dreaming—are what Chicktime is all about. We don’t just do activities… we build confidence, community, and a sense of worth that will stay with these girls long after the glue dries.
We are so grateful to Elks Aidmore for welcoming us and to every volunteer who helped make today so special.
And we’re just getting started…
Next month is our Galentine’s Workshop, and you truly do not want to miss it. It’s going to be full of love, laughter, and even more moments that matter.

A comprehensive guide was provided, featuring affirmations and daily habits to promote self-care and resilience. Activities such as bracelet-making and journal decoration encouraged stress relief. The workshop concluded with a meaningful Chex mix ceremony, where each ingredient represented a key aspect of personal growth: Hope Trail Mix for hope, cereal for stability, pretzels for strength, dried cranberries for endurance, marshmallows for kindness, popcorn for growth, and M&Ms for joy and individuality.

Our January workshop- It was a small turnout—just two moms and three kids—but the women and children who came had a truly meaningful time creating vision boards together. Sometimes the sweetest moments happen in the smallest gatherings. Chicktime Baltimore has beautiful workshops planned once a month throughout 2026 and remains committed to being His hands and feet at The House of Ruth. We don’t want to just talk about serving—we want to put love into action. If you’ve ever thought about joining us, this is your invitation. The women and children are so grateful, and it’s only a couple of hours once a month. Come for one month, come for three, or come for the whole year—whatever your schedule allows. We promise you’ll leave feeling blessed by being a blessing. # lovewhereyoulive |
Let’s Talk Self Care - *tx-sawestside
January Update:
Our January Chicktime SA-Westside gathering was a wonderful way to kick off the new year! We had the joy of spending time with one of the newest residents at the Treasured Protégé house, and it truly reminded us why this ministry is so special.
Together, we made friendship bracelets and used that time to talk, laugh, and learn more about each other. What started as a simple craft quickly became a meaningful opportunity to build connection and trust.
These moments matter so much, especially for girls who are transitioning out of foster care and learning that they are valued, supported, and deeply cared for.
We also shared about the exciting events we have planned for the year ahead, and the girls’ enthusiasm made us even more grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside them. Each gathering is a reminder that showing up consistently and with love can make a lasting impact.
We are truly blessed to be part of Chicktime and to spend time with these incredible young women. Our hearts are full, and we are excited for all that this year has in store!
No Gutters! - *tx-mcallen
December Update:
Once a month, a dedicated group of volunteers comes together with one shared purpose: to support Families who open their homes and hearts to provide safe, loving care for children in our community.
These gatherings are filled with connection, encouragement, and fun—often including bowling, shared meals, and activities that allow families and volunteers alike to relax and feel supported. Each gathering is made possible by generous, kind, and compassionate people who believe deeply that these speclial Families should be valued, celebrated, and truly seen.
One of the most meaningful highlights of the year was our Christmas gathering!
Love and laughter and even presents surrounded us!
As we look ahead, our 2026 monthly gatherings are already lined up, and we are excited for what’s to come. We are always looking for volunteers—those who can offer financial support as well as those who can be physically present to help host and serve alongside our leadership team. Every act of generosity, whether through time or resources, helps create a welcoming space where Families feel supported, encouraged, and celebrated.

We always leave feeling warm and fuzzy, grateful for the time and space we’re able to share together—and Christmas makes it feel even more magical.
We can’t wait for 2026 and all the love that will continue to unfold through our monthly workshops. We hope to see you join us one month.

Chicktime New Year - *ny-syracuse
December Update:
Our December party almost didn’t happen, as so many were under the weather. Instead, our leadership team made plans to drop off cookies for the day and night staff, along with gifts for all 36 shelter residents.
But God had a special assignment waiting for us.
At that exact moment in time, we were sent to the shelter not simply to deliver Christmas goodies—but to be His witnesses to one precious woman and her child who will soon be leaving the shelter. This sweet mother had just experienced the loss of a loved one, and God placed us there to offer comfort, love, and His presence during her time of grief.
Sometimes our workshops don’t go according to our plans—but they always go according to His.
As we look toward 2026, may God continue to use us and our Chicktime Syracuse Chapter. May we always step out of the way and let Him lead.
And to all who are reading this and feel the call to do more… love more… serve more—join us. Come be His hands and feet alongside us.
Merry Christmas,
The Chicktime Syracuse Leadership Team

December Update:
Holiday Magic at the Settlement Home!
We turned Christmas into an unforgettable experience for the teens! Each teen teamed up with a personal shopper and had 10 points to create their dream haul—because everyone deserves a little holiday sparkle!
From a gingerbread cookie station to steaming cups of hot chocolate, the festive vibes were off the charts. Smiles, laughter, and pure holiday joy filled the air.
A huge thank you to everyone who made this day so special!

Merry Christmas from ChickTimeKC!
This past weekend we had our annual Christmas party with the girls at Ozanam. We started the party off with some holiday music , then got to work painting ceramic and wood Christmas ornaments.
Then we moved on to Christmas card making. It was fun getting to hang out with these girls and talk about all sorts of stuff. From what was on their Christmas list to who they wanted to make cards for.
It’s always fun hanging out and spending time with them.
We have some exciting workshops coming up this year. Please reach out if you’d like to join us!
Anchor Bracelets - *ar-littlerock
December Update:
Instead of a traditional workshop, we joined the Immerse Arkansas Christmas party and hosted a gingerbread house competition — and what we experienced was so much more than crafts and candy.
We laughed, we created, we competed (a little ), and most importantly, we connected.
Our volunteers shared how full their hearts were just being present — hanging out, listening, encouraging, and letting the youth simply be kids. For some, it was their very first gingerbread house.
For others, it was a reminder that joy can live in the smallest moments.
This is what Chicktime is about: showing up consistently, building relationships, and reminding these young people that they are seen, valued, and deeply loved.
Grateful for our partnership with Immerse, for every volunteer who said yes, and for the memories made around tables like this one.

2026 is Here! - *ga-conyers
December Update:
This year we had our Chicktime Christmas party in the evening and decided to do a craft night.
We kicked things off with pizza and wings (thanks, Heather!) and plenty of laughter around the table.
Then the creativity began!
Margo’s fashion ties were a huge hit, Kim’s Christmas bracelets sparkled, Annette’s custom jewelry and signs shined, and Lindsey’s DIY ornaments brought out the holiday spirit.
Thanks to our amazing volunteers and generous community, every girl left with a care package, a gift bag full of goodies, and an Amazon gift card!
Most importantly, we all left with full hearts and festive smiles.

Let’s Get Creative - *tx-sacentral
December Update:
Monday night, Chicktime gathered with the wonderful kiddos at RMYA The Bridge for a special Christmas dinner filled with joy, laughter, and connection.
The evening began with prayer, followed by a delicious Olive Garden meal, fun snowman crafts, and plenty of sweet treats.
Ms. Sandra spent the night serving and loving on the kiddos, while Ms. Jamie brought extra goodies that brought big smiles all around. Ms. Krystal, Ms. Sandra, and Ms. Jamie enjoyed sitting, talking, laughing, and simply spending meaningful time together with each child — moments that truly made the night special.
We ended the evening with gifts for each child, including gift cards so they could choose what they needed most — a reminder that they are seen, valued, and deeply cared for.
The kids also took the time to give Chicktime a thank you card, which just melted our hearts. We need the time with them just as much as they need it with us.
A heartfelt thank you to our incredible donors who made this night possible. We are so incredibly grateful for your generosity and look forward to all that the new year holds.
Junk Journaling - *oh-akron
December Update:
Our Christmas workshop with the girls at Safe Landing was absolutely epic! We’re not sure who had more fun—the girls or the Chicktime Akron ladies.
From decorating cookies and sipping hot chocolate to sharing lots of gifts, every moment was filled with joy. It was truly a special time.
We wish we could put into words what it means to simply show up and be present for these girls—to witness their laughter and to see them feel safe. That’s why we’ll be back in 2026, once a month on the second Saturday of each month.
We invite you to be part of what we’re doing at Chicktime Akron—changing lives, one workshop at a time.
It’s a New Year - *tx-canyonlake
December Update:
Santa?! I know him!!!
The Christmas party this weekend at New Life was wonderful!
The misty drizzle moved us indoors, but we didn’t let that kill our fun.
The festivities included Santa pictures in snow globe frames, toss the ring on a reindeer antler, food, presents, and dancing.
There was a lot of love and laughs, which is the best way to spend a Saturday! Thank you to all who came or donated to make this a reality.
Let’s Journal - *al-birmingham
December Update:
Our December workshop at the Alabama Baptist Children’s Home was merry and joyful, just as every month is when
Chicktime Birmingham shows up with a fun activity and snack. This month, we decorated ornaments to help our friends count down to Christmas. As we celebrate the season, we are reminded of the promise found in Luke 2:10–11: “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.”
We are already looking forward to our 2026 monthly gatherings and hope you will join us one month. Until then, we pray for our chapter, our volunteers, and for everyone at ABCH—not only those who live there, but also those who work there—that they know just how wonderfully made they are.

We had the best time at our Chicktime Christmas Party !
The girls loved decorating ornaments and cookies, playing games, and opening their gifts.

A huge thank you to the Great American Cookie Store in Murfreesboro for donating the cookies, and to Allison for putting together those stockings for them. It was such a perfect finishing touch!
We look forward to seeing you at one of our 2026 workshops and serving together.

We Have A Vison - *tx-marion

Chicktime Marion, along with our sweet girls, celebrated Chicktime Saturday with a Christmas Bash!
A pancake and chocolate milk bar (because it’s still hot in Texas!) started our morning. Followed by fun games and cookie decorating!
…And thanks to our very generous donors, we were able to gift each of the girls personal gifts and treats. THANK YOU!
And a Happy Birthday to our very own Liz!
Although there were a lot of sweets, the sweetest treat is our scheduled fellowship time every second Saturday of the month! 
Let’s Be Positive - tx-converse
December Update:
Chicktime Converse, we are so grateful for YOU!
Thank you for leading workshops in 2025, for already signing up to lead more in 2026, for donating to help us purchase gifts for the young moms and their children, and for faithfully praying for our chapter and our mission—to love, show up, and give hope.
We were honored to attend the Boysville Christmas pageant on your behalf. It was so sweet and beautiful. Afterward, we went to the MinT cottage to enjoy fellowship with the moms and children and to watch them open their presents. What a joyful afternoon!
We can’t wait to see YOU in 2026 and all the wonderful things God has planned for our chapter and for our time serving Him at Boysville.
Fitness Fun - *tx-sanantonio
December Update:
Chicktime San Antonio had the privilege of attending the Boysville Children’s Home Annual Christmas Pageant, beautifully presented by the children with the loving support of the staff. The pageant shared the Christmas story in a powerful way—including the testimony of a non-believer who became a believer through the courage of one person willing to tell him about the birth of Jesus. How convicting and inspiring for all of us to be bold in sharing our faith!
Following the pageant, Christmas gift sponsors were invited to visit the cottages they supported. Chicktime San Antonio proudly sponsored the two cottages where the girls who attend our monthly workshops live. We were warmly welcomed into their “home” and enjoyed a Christmas party with the girls and their house parents. The girls graciously hosted us as we shared tamales, chips and queso, cocktail wieners, fruit, a veggie and cheese platter, and cookies for dessert.
We enjoyed meaningful conversation about our favorite Christmas movies, played a name game, prayed together, and intentionally looked each girl in the eyes to tell her how beautiful, worthy, and deeply loved she is.
After refreshments, we gathered in the living room to open Christmas gifts. We began by handing out cards addressed to each girl. When they opened them together, the room filled with excitement and awe as they realized each card contained a crisp $100 bill! Some even asked if it was real—such a priceless moment of joy!
Next, the girls opened their individual pink and black tote bags filled with thoughtful gifts: blankets, crafts, makeup brushes, lip gloss, face masks, LED lights, fuzzy socks, a devotional, bath and body works, a crochet beanie, a book, and a Chicktime luggage tag for their new bags. The room overflowed with love and joy as the girls shared their excitement over each item—and their upcoming shopping sprees, wherever they choose to go!
We ended our time by praying over the house parents, asking God to protect them and give them strength as they carry out their God-given assignment to love these girls and provide a safe place to call home. The house parents were also gifted bath and body products as a small way to honor them and acknowledge the incredibly hard and important work they do.
Thank you once again to everyone who donated toward these gifts, attended or led a workshop in 2025 and faithfully prayed for the Chicktime mission. We truly could not love like this without you.
Thank you Anna, Betty and Diane for coming today and celebrating the Christmas season with the girls and us!
All-
We have wonderful workshops planned for 2026 and would love to see you join us one month!
