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.

ST. JOHN’S LUTHERAN GIRL PIONEERS CARAVAN #33

St. John’s Lutheran Girl Pioneers are members of the national organization of Lutheran Girl Pioneers whose headquarters is in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. Each girl is known as a Sunbeam (grades 1 & 2), Traveler (grades 3 & 4), Trailblazer (grades 5 & 6), or Homesteader (grades 7 & 8). Our motto is “Loyal to Christ.”

The St. John’s LGP Council has been busy preparing a fun and meaningful year for the girls of St. John’s. The nationally used LGP charm program helps provide a structure from which the leaders create an interesting and varied program.

Lutheran Girl Pioneers offers our girls many positive opportunities as they explore and discover their gifts and talents.
