P.R.A.Y.

The GSUSA Interfaith Committee and PRAY need your help.

During the Girl Scouts UNITE, National Girl Scout Convention, there will be an interfaith service on Thursday, July 23rd from 4:15 pm to 5:00 pm.

We are seeking attendees across faith traditions to participate and lead parts of the service. An organizational meeting will be held on Friday, May 8th from 6 pm - 7 pm CDT.

If you are interested please connect with us through a short participation survey to identify faith traditions and content.

With the coming anniversary month events and presentations for both youth and adult recognitions, PRAY is your source for helps, suggested services, and presentation scripts.

The recognition received is a way for them to witness to their faith and share what they have learned. The congregation has a role in affirming and encouraging all in their faith journeys and welcoming and interacting with their families.

Don't forget to recognize recipients at the unit level as well. Often times that celebration helps to make others aware that their faith can be recognized and connected to their experience too.

P.R.A.Y. VACATION NOTICE

During the week of January 12th -16th P.R.A.Y. will be closed so that staff may take advantage of earned personal time off and celebrate a few milestones.

We recognize that this may be inconvenient, but the timing will not impact orders intended for Scouting America’s Scout Sunday celebrations in February. Shipping will resume January 19th when the office reopens. In most cases, and when cost-respectful, shipping occurs through UPS which guarantees a reliable 3-5 business day delivery schedule. Media (booklets) and other first-class mail will still be delivered via the US Postal Service, unless otherwise directed as Priority or Expedited in the order process. Orders that are indicated as Priority or Expedited will receive the same shipping class when P.R.A.Y resumes operations on January 19th.

In the meantime, P.R.A.Y. is always open at praypub.org where program, teaching, and student resources are available. For registration, curriculum, booklets, and recognition please visit our webstore, store.praypub.org.

If you have ordered booklets and need them to start lessons immediately, please visit https://store.praypub.org/protestant-program-booklets where the first lesson is available for the Student, Counselor/Teacher, and Mentor booklets. These can be found by opening the direct link and description for each booklet in the program levels.

Thank you in advance for your patience, understanding, and shared ministry. P.R.A.Y. is grateful for you!
