When the CE&P Committee developed its most recent strategic faith plan, it included developing curriculum and studies for teens. Under the able leadership of Susan Hunt, writer, consultant, and former Women In the Church Coordinator, CE&P plans to introduce a curriculum for teen girls and older pre-teens. The title of the teen curriculum is Becoming a True Woman While I Still Have a Curfew and the pre-teen version Becoming a True Woman When I’m Trying to Make it Through Middle School. The first part of the two-to-three-year curriculum is based on two of the books authored by Susan Hunt and studied by the Women In the Church. Spiritual Mothering and True Woman will be the basic texts for the first year of the curriculum.

The energy and design behind this new curriculum is to produce a discipleship study that will help pre-teens and teen girls to know how to think biblically about womanhood. The curriculum’s core verse is Psalm 144:12 b "…our daughters will be like pillars carved to adorn a palace."

The curriculum will be made up of several components--the two basic texts mentioned above, a leader’s guide, and journal for the girls. The lessons are designed for a variety of uses. For example, year one will have 15 lessons which can be divided into several lessons, if desired. The curriculum will contain Bible exposition, life stories, and for the students, a journal type of notebook with weekly assignments and prayer requests.

Some of the topics include: The True Woman’s Purpose, A Helper by Design, and A True Woman Reflects Her Redemption by Serving; By Encouraging Others; and By Accepting Others.

The anticipated publication date will be the summer of 2007. Check our CE&P website for further information and update regarding the curriculum’s availability.
