Ten Concepts by HHPSII - The Concept of love & friendship (The relationship with God)

Topic 1: My Relationship with God

Topic 2: My Relationship with Family (including Church family)

Topic 3: My Relationship with Others (including dating, etc.)

Brainstorming

The focus will be on how a strong relationship with God leads to a healthy relationship with family which gives me fulfillment so I don't rush into unhealthy relationships with others.

We need to establish for the girls a strong foundation so they are not shaken by every interaction/relationship they have. 

God willing, we will conclude with the Q&A which will wrap up the whole topic.

The vision for this convention is to teach the youth how to prioritize their relationships, why they often struggle with their relationships with family and friends, why they often find themselves seeking relationships at a young age and why they always receive advice against that and that all of this is tied together.

Workshops

Session 3, Station 2 - Workshop (Edited movie - Princess Cut) - girls will watch the movie which summarizes the 3 topics with an emphasis on Relation with Others - waiting on God's timing for your future spouse and having the parents do their role in helping their daughters find a Godly, holy man.
