I think it would be a blessing to include the girls as well. Some of the teen young ladies can teach the younger girls crafts, cooking, or anything really. If I lived near you I'd be there weekly!!!!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00596299267527979338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720122887391988458.post-54942187006623149402012-01-23T18:15:24.009-06:002012-01-23T18:15:24.009-06:00I think this is a great idea!

We all bring the fruit - she had the rest and we all went home after a wonderful day learning & fellowshipping with a large variety of jellies and jams. She was thrilled to be asked to share her talents and we were thrilled to learn and have our children start learning. No more jelly from the grocery store!Laura Owennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720122887391988458.post-64818515409884658122012-01-23T16:55:43.181-06:002012-01-23T16:55:43.181-06:00Abbi, this sounds like a wonderful idea.

What a wonderful way ...I absolutely love this idea! What a wonderful way to mentor women to be homemakers. I think it would be beneficial to both young women and "seasoned" women alike. <br /><br />There is a Bible study called Apples of Gold written by Betty Huizenga that I have heard good things about. It is published by David C Cook. I have the book, but have never participated in an Apples of Gold group. It is a mentoring program that specifically focuses on cooking/bible study. But, you might find some resources on their website. http://www.applesofgold.org/home.shtmlAlisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14026547037751878684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720122887391988458.post-46816133099046169152012-01-23T14:20:19.235-06:002012-01-23T14:20:19.235-06:00My second born daughter, Marianna (26) led a group...My second born daughter, Marianna (26) led a group like this in our home once a month, she called(s) it VOH for Vessels of Honor. She took half the time and taught a Bible study sharing prayer request together, and the second half a homemaking lesson. Three hours total (sometimes running over). Sometimes my other daughters would share too or friends who are herbalists, our Christian state rep's wife etc. One time she had godly young men share over webcam on their thoughts on godly young ladies. : )<br /><br />In the kitchen we would make candy, sometimes we would learn to crochet in the living room, sometimes the girls were to bring their independent projects, sewing, scrapbooking whatever to each do together and share too. <br /><br />Now that we have moved from the suburbs into the country Marianna holds the VOH meetings at a European bakery style restaurant in the suburbs that has a french atmosphere to it, very homie. It has a meeting room that they let her use for free and Marianna encourages the girls to buy a little something like a coffee or pastry to honor the restaurant's policy on the use of the room. She isn't able to do homemaking skills but Bible studies and prayer journals are encouraged at this time. <br /><br />The only problem with the homemaking skills in our home is at times we would have 30 girls or so, and some would tend to clique up in other rooms and talk and not blend in with all ages of girls.<br /><br />Feel free to ask us any questions, Marianna has been doing this for five years. : )<br /><br />Blessings! ~AmeliaAmeliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093408888499365118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720122887391988458.post-11324386723393631792012-01-23T10:58:57.706-06:002012-01-23T10:58:57.706-06:00I think it sounds like a GREAT idea.

I may try to start doing once a month first. I would love to be a part of something like this!!! WIsh I lived closer.Janessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11778762136778968804noreply@blogger.com
