National Girls Ministries Week

National Girls Ministries Week (NGMW) begins the second Sunday of September, and coincides with the National Girls Ministries year (September through August).
The local church can use NGMW to promote Girls Ministries in August or September when girls are advancing to new clubs. An annual Theme/Sleepover packet is mailed to district coordinators, sectional representatives, and local churches. This packet contains promotional resources such as a skit, a devotion, and a product order form to enhance National Girls Ministries Week—all encouraging girls to attend Girls Ministries programs.
Every church reporting a Girls Ministries ministry on the Annual Church Ministries Report will receive a packet in July. Coordinators will have everything they need to start the new Girls Ministries year—promotional plans and materials, an event-planning guide to kick off the year (Sleepover), and the new catalog to help them order and prepare for start-up in August or September.
Along with promoting Girls Ministries in their congregation, churches are encouraged to take up an offering. This offering assists the national Girls Ministries staff as they provide field ministry, develop new materials and products, provide training and leadership materials, process training certificates, and process orders for materials and offerings for national projects.
