Book Release & Other Events February 2010
 Greetings!

Steph's Group - 2009 CeleJanuary 11th and 12th, 2010 will be days forever held in my memory with great joy.  Pam Farrel and I  celebrated together the release of the

 Raising a Modern Day Princess book
 & Becoming  a Modern Day Princess Journal.
Our Torrance, CA event at King's Harbor Church was celebrated with many early supporters of the ministry as well as friends, family and precious alumni.  A highlight of the evening for me was my Uncle Rick (my father's youngest brother) imparted my father'sSteph's Group - 2009 Cele blessing and crowned me a princess.  Two of my alumni from the South Bay shared the impact that the program has had on them over the years and how their blessing has continued to stay in their hearts.

The next evening we were in San Diego celebrating with almost 100 women of leadership.  Pam is an amazing mentor to many of them, so a number of them shared their appreciation of Pam and spoke about how she has impacted their lives over the years.  This was powerful and reminded me of the "woman of influence," that she is!  I was thrilled at the response as numerous women expressed their desire to implement the program in their churches, at the Salvation Army Center, and within the foster care system in San Diego, to just name a few.

Princess Pam Farrel To those that attended:  I am grateful for everyone of you- your presence validated us and this ministry in a big way!  I am counting on your prayers for the words spoken in those 2 days - this is just the beginning!

 Hope you these pics!

 Naomi's Baton PassingPassing the Baton in Georgia
 
Many of you will remember the name Naomi Shedd, Georgia rep. for Treasured Celebrations.  Naomi has just concluded mentoring her 6th group of young ladies through the Becoming a Modern Day Princess program (formerly Celebrate! You're a Daughter of the King)   It was also her last faith-based group hosted at Liberty Church as she has vision for taking the program to her community and beyond..
 
       "I actually got a real running baton and wrote "Daughter of the King" on it with my CM stickers and literally passed it onto to Pastor Katrina (the woman who will continue the BMDP program at Liberty Church) at the ceremony.  It was quite a significant moment for both of us..."
 
We ask for your prayers as Naomi carries the blessing of the BMPD program into new areas of Georgia.

Please pray for us, that the Lord will use us to deeply impact these young women".

Over the past couple of months my husband has been reading the book Raising a Modern Day Knight and starting to do things with my son.  I then did a search online for a modern day princess and your website came up.  It was then I found out that a book was in the works and would be available in January.  I was very excited and anxiously awaiting the time where I could submit my order.  I look forward to receiving the book and the journal to go through with my daughter.

                             Blessings in abundance, Lori

 

I am  putting together a series of Program Resources and a Bible Study for our officers and soldiers to use. It will be on an "in house" resource site and in the long run possibly on the web.
In the resource I recommend that they use your book and I used the synopsis found on your web page:
   
    'Use the Raising a Modern Day Princess book, by Doreen Hanna, as a basis for a special time with the corps girls and their families. This book is a must for moms, mentors and all who have a heart for our teenage girls. It will equip everyone who will play a part in her rite-of-passage journey by providing the who, what, where, when and how to make this a life changing journey. Those who participate will reach her pinnacle with her - a celebration that creates a memory for a life time as she receives a public blessing from her father, (or another man of integrity), when he speaks words of affirmation and blessing over her and crowns her a princess'

 Feb 2010 CLASSeminars Postcard
On February 8 - 10, Our Savior's Church in Palm Springs will be hosting The CLASSeminar. This seminar launches the 30th year of ministry for the CLASS organization!   
 
To commemorate this milestone we have decided to offer a very special one-time price of $300 for the three-day Basic CLASSeminar because we recognize the critical need our world has for effective Christian communicators and leaders.  This is an incredible savings over the regular price of $450.
