ST. JOHN’S LUTHERAN GIRL PIONEERS PROGRAM

St. John’s Lutheran Girl Pioneers is a youth program for girls in grades 1-8 that focuses on five areas of Christian life.

	Education -- Activities center around citizenship, cooking, etiquette, first aid, homemaking, crafts, the outdoors, and more!
	Worship -- Girl Pioneers praise God together in prayer, devotion, and song.
	Fellowship -- Through fellowship, we learn to appreciate the work with God’s family. Being with other Christian girls is especially fun.
	Service -- The Lord has given us gifts to serve him. Service to others gives us an outlet to practice Christian values.
	Recreation -- Leaders recognize that recreation activities provide a learning experience, opportunity for leadership, and promotes cooperation and team work among the girls.
