The title of this book is a cry often heard by leaders of organizations. This resource is a response to that cry. Designed to be a twelve-month guide, there are programs for Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Halloween, the Christmas season, Lent, and more. The programs are designed for easy implementation at women's meetings, youth gatherings, and congregational events. Leader's helps are provided to indicate what props, songs, and readers are needed. This collection of fifteen programs is reflective, at times humorous, and includes skits, meditations, and other suggestions to fit particular seasons.
Programs for various months include:
• February -- A Heart Filled with Love
• March -- From Slavery to Sainthood
• May -- A Humorous Look at Some Hopeful Women
• July -- God's Picnic Basket
• August -- The Armor of God
• October -- In Pursuit of the Right Spirit
• November -- The Exodus Murmurs
... and eight more
