October Update:

Chicktime Detroit participated with Vista Maria’s campus wide Trunk or Treat!!!

What a beautiful night for a great event!!!

Thank you to everyone who came out from the chapter to give the kids a great time

We had wonderful representation from old and new leadership and volunteers alike!

September Update:

Chicktime Detroit September activity was so much fun!!! Per the girls request we made bracelets

I could barely get a hello out before they sat down and started getting busy!!! The girls were making bracelets for each other, loved ones and themselves. This time together was so fun and relaxing. We had such a good time talking and creating with the girls!!! We even welcomed a new volunteer, Sameerah, to our chapter!!!!

Our volunteers that our chapter has been blessed with are truly God’s gift. I am so grateful for them

I would love to see next month!

August Update:

Our August workshop was awesome… Nancy and Raechel teamed up and lead a wonderful morning of fun and blessings. By popular demand, Raechel, return volunteer with Rev Well, started us off getting our blood flowing with a session of drumming Nancy, one of our longtime volunteers, closed out our time with creating hearts of affirmations

The girls decorated their hearts with a word(s) that they believe about themselves. The hearts say it all.

I’m so thankful for the ladies who share their time, love and care with the young ladies of Beata Hall. The Lord sure has his hand over our chapter!!! He keeps blessing us with the steadfastness of our long time volunteers and a desire to serve in our new volunteers, like Abbie and Alexia

July Update:

We had great weather for our July fitness activity

Karen and her friends from Revelation Wellness returned again this summer to lead the girls in a faith based session of movement with some drumming and kick boxing as part of the routine. Rev Well’s purpose is to show God’s love through movement emphasizing that the participants don’t compare themselves to anyone else. The meaning behind that is that God loves as we are. As we move through the session with Christian music we are releasing all the lies, insecurities and doubts that either we or others put on us. At the close of the activity the girls wrote on disappearing tape a lie or insecurity they hold inside and then drop in water where it disappears. This represents how when we trust in God that he takes all of that away. We are his daughters and he loves and cares for all of us.
