​All girls in grades 3-8 are welcome to register.
GEMS starts in late September and ends in April.

Registration is the last Thursday in September starting at 7:00 pm. 
​


GEMS is a girls club for girls in grades 3-8 that seeks to equip women and girls to live radically faithful lives by following the words of the GEMS Aim - Micah 6:8 "And what does the Lord require of you?  To act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God."
 


The theme for 2019-20 is LOVED. Period. and the theme verse is See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!  And that is what we are! (1 John 3:1).   We will be studying how to put these words into action in our daily lives.



Each GEMS meeting typically begins with our opening exercises - reciting our theme verses, singing our theme songs (many include creative movement!), and a prayer.  Next, the girls learn about Jesus and the Bible and work on earning badges (ex. Cooking, Basketry, Caring for Animals).



​
At GEMS we also do many group activity nights such as a Harvest Party with the dads/special men, caroling and playing games at Huronview, a Theme Night, a GEMS Rally with other clubs in the area, swimming with the Cadets, an event night with the moms/special women, and various craft and game nights.
