As nearly appointed youth director I have been thinking about conducting some basic etiquette for young girls in my department.

Do you think this is appropriate?. I remember older chuch members correcting me when I did wrong in church with a word or constructive critism, however I learned etiquette from a social group, debutante, and my parents.

yes, yes and yes. Our young ladies need some guidance from somewhere and school isn't going to give it to them unless they come into a teacher like me who pulls no punches.

I most surely think it is. At my church, we did just that. We have the Girls Mission Auxilory. Our sponsers would come up with programs for us and I really enjoyed the etiquette.

WHILE YOU ARE AT IT! PLEASE TACKLE THE MOST PRESSING ISSUE, ABSTAINING FROM PRE-MARITAL SEX! AND THE OBLIGATIONS OF REARING A CHILD ALONE! WHICH IS NOT WHAT GOD INTENDED. A GREAT ORGANIZATION TO WORK WITH IS ALSO PROMISE KEEPERS/TRUE LOVE WAITS! THE GIRLS GET PROMISE RINGS (THEY REALLY LIKE THAT)

I would say with out a doubt-YES!. . .BUT NOT BY YOU, because if you are as young as they are, they may not accept guidance from you. Try to enlist the aid of someone who is not a part of their group, slightly older and a good example of what you're trying to convey. People tend to respect outside presenters/clinicans and may be more inclined to put into prractice what is taught. Peace

Good point jayjay.....bring in someone who can vibe with them, but at the same time can be respected. Also make sure that the things that are being taught in the church also are being practiced at home, otherwise it's defeating the purpose

I forgot....I came in here to respond to the post!

That was one effective ministry that was in place at my former church.

Some of the focal points of emphasis were:

How young ladies should receive/give "Holy Hugs" specifically to men, as greeters and ushers

Proper ways to walk, sit, appropriate undergarments, how to hold a fork; etc.

Balanced with the Gospel and other areas of ministry that would make them productive and successful, -- -- ABSOLUTELY

I'll put it like this -- I didn't need supernatural intervention -- to stop me! But we have a tendency to make common sense choices, spiritual, or Christianistic (ooh)

Now would you go study, TIME IS RUNNIN' OUT you know you got 4000 definitions to ace
