'Tween Girls and God -- ENCOUNTERS WITH JESUS! by Abby Kelly

'Tween girls (girls 9-12 years old) have special needs, physically, mentally and spiritually. Not quite teens, they are no longer 'little girls'. 'Tween Girls and God strives to meet the spiritual needs of girls in this special age group. Published 3-4 itmes monthly, TGG offers devotionals, articles and activities in a theme that runs for one full month. Each issue has new content, fresh perspectives on the theme and allows girls time to consider, meditate and learn about a specific part of Christianity. With a memory verse included in each month's magazines, girls have an opportunity to be part of a community of peers as they hide God's word in their hearts.

Each magazine is free for part of the first week of its publication. This issue is slated to be on free status from Saturday, March 29 - Wednesday, April 2. The theme for this month is Encounters with Jesus, where we will look at our Saviour through the eyes of his contemporaries.

This week, discover:
What it was like to be the sister of the man on one of the other crosses
How Martha felt while Mary listened to Jesus teach
What it felt like to be the shortest guy in the room (Poor Zacchaeus!)
How Jesus and his contemporaries ate meals (It's pretty different than how we eat now!)
How to make a fish out of a water bottle
Final ways to learn John 6:14

Next month we begin a new theme, 'Fruits of the Spirit', so grab this last issue of Encounters with Jesus wile it's free!
