Summer Activities 2011

Stay connected with your Bright Lights friends this summer by joining us for one of our summer fellowship activities! We also welcome other young ladies who may be interested in Bright Lights to join us, please invite your friends! Contact Allison Whisler to RSVP for each of these activities.


Siblings & Snacks Movie Night
Friday June 17th 7:00-9:30pm, The Whisler’s Home
We’re inviting you to bring your siblings and cozy blankets along for a movie night full of laughter, snacks & fun! We’ll be using a projector & big screen to project a movie in our living room.

The featured entertainment will be San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival award-winner: The Runner From Ravenshead. This excellent movie, created by a homeschooling family, combines Little Rascals style escapades with Pilgrim’s Progress style allegories, creating a hilariously encouraging movie. The all-children cast and clean, Christian themes are sure to be a hit with you & your siblings.

Young ladies are encouraged to invite their older or younger siblings to attend this event with them. However, any attending younger siblings must be able to sit through the full-length feature film. Each family will be asked to bring a snack item which will be assigned when you RSVP. Please RSVP to Allison by June 15th.


Family Picnic
July 16th 11:30am-1:00pm, Hesse Park in O’Fallon
Bring your family, a picnic lunch & a couple folding chairs for a time of fellowship and games with other Bright Lights families. We will be renting a pavilion at the park for the picnic and will also provide a large cooler of drinking water. This park offers open play fields, baseball diamonds, basketball courts, playgrounds, and restrooms. We hope this event will be an informal time to fellowship and play together. Please feel free to bring balls, jump ropes, frisbees, outdoor games, etc. Please RSVP to Allison by July 13th.


Birthday Bash
August 9th 1:30-3:30pm, The Whisler’s Home
Join us as we celebrate a year of doing Bright Lights & all the summer birthdays of the girls in our group. We’ll be decorating cupcakes to eat and playing some of our favorite Bright Lights games (yes, there will be skits!). Moms are invited to join us from 3:00-3:30 as we talk about our plans for the next year of Bright Lights & provide an opportunity for everyone to sign up for the exciting year ahead. Please RSVP to Allison by August 6th.

Self Control 5/10/11

This evening we finished our last Bright Lights lesson for the year by finishing set three. To begin the evening, several of the girls had prepared music or scripture memorization to share with us. Thank you ladies for taking the time to share with us, it was a blessing! Unfortunately, we only got a picture of one of the performances.

Our ongoing activity for the evening was a game that made everyone aware of how hard it is to control the tongue. Each girl was given two stickers & told not to say "I" at all during the evening. If anyone heard you saying the forbidden word they could take one of your stickers and put it on themselves. Whoever had the most stickers by the end of the night won. In the end, Heather was the winner. :)

Once the game was over, Sarah decided to collect the stickers on her face. ;)

We were able to take group pictures at this meeting and pretty much everyone was there so they turned out really well.
