I have recently started to teach a class on sexuality to 7th grade girls at our church; I started with the material from Faith Alive, called sexuality;
I am looking for other available resources.
When i asked my girls "do you know what God says about sex?" they said no, and were very interested in the answer.

I am the office manager of the church that I attend; the benefit is that this feels more like a ministry than a job.
the downfall is that I oftenfeel that i do not get a sababth because I am working on Sundays also.
