NEW CEO

NEW P.R.A.Y. OFFICERS

New Board officers were elected at the P.R.A.Y. Annual Meeting in September: President  J.T. Dabbs (Scout Executive, Greater Alabama Council, BSA), Vice-President  Roni Luckenbill (CEO, Girl Scouts of Western Ohio), and Secretary/Treasurer  Kenn Miller (Scout Executive, Heart of America Council, BSA).  Although these officers have been working closely with CEO Jason Noland, all nine directors are returning to serve terms on the P.R.A.Y. Board to provide continuity during this time of transition. Special thanks to former officers John Fenoglio (Scout Executive, Mt. Diablo Silverado Council, BSA) and Teena Weathersby-Hampton (Director of Mission Delivery Operations, Girl Scouts of Northern Indiana-Michiana) for their leadership and dedication to the P.R.A.Y. ministry.

NEW WEBSITE & STORE

P.R.A.Y. launched a brand new website on November 1st, and although we hadn't announced it yet, we have already received feedback on our new site:

 

 

The new website is mobile friendly, provides on-site search capability, and proudly tells the P.R.A.Y. story.  The new shopping cart displays the P.R.A.Y. awards and provides a streamlined process for youth registration and award purchase. The sort and search capability of our new Resource Library provides easy access for important resources.

 

Please take the time to visit our website at www.praypub.org. If you can't find what you're looking for, please let us know. We appreciate your feedback and patience as we continue refining and updating our new site. 

"Tents and Shelters" is here at last!  The tents lesson is the latest addition to the Bible Basics RP3 series.  The featured stories are "God Speaks with Moses in the Tent of the Meeting," "The Festival of Booths Helps Us Remember," and "Tent Maker Paul."  Bible Basics RP3 is a free curriculum for all ages (including adults) and is designed to "fill in the gaps" between P.R.A.Y. Awards.  The curriculum emphasizes Bible STORIES and Bible STUDY and utilizes the RP3 model of Reading to Picture, Ponder, and Put It Into Action.  Click here to learn more or to request the "Tents" lesson.

 

Please note: Although the curriculum has been posted online, the actual Tent patch won't be available in our store until early December.  Be sure to sign up to receive the P.R.A.Y. newsletter to be notified when it becomes available for purchase.
