Getting Your Group Together


Spread the Word!
Tell them about it. Then tell ‘em again . . . and again! Put up posters, include an paragraph in your church bulletin (you’ll find one under promotions), show the promo video, send out emails, put info on your Web site, send out a bulletin on your myspace account, join our Facebook Meant For More
'08 group . . . pretty much any and everything you can think of to let people know about Meant For More '08.

Outreach
Encourage your girls to invite their unchurched friends. It’s a fun, non-threatening environment where they will hear about God’s love and grace.

Guest Speaker Shannon Primicerio
Shannon has authored several books and devotionals for young women. These are great resources for small groups – and if they like the book, they’ll love the event!

Retreat
You can use the event as a retreat for your girls. No worries about finding a speaker, a band, or choosing a theme – we’ve taken care of that for you. Have a sleep over with your girls Friday night!

Gift/Scholarship
Often people who do not have teens themselves are willing to sponsor a girl who would not otherwise have been able to attend. By offering this opportunity you can increase the size of your group and offer teens a potentially life-changing experience at the same time.

Partner With Others
Are there other churches or youth organizations in your area that would like to attend? This is a great way to work together and earn free tickets for mentors (one free for every 10 students paid). Is there a spot where teens hang out? Ask them to display a poster and/or flyers with your contact information.
