AND

A SPECIAL PAJAMA PARTY!
We are planning a very special GEMS Mother/Daughter Theme Event! Here are the details:

Date & Time: March 8 @ 6:30 p.m. – March 9 @ 8:30 a.m.
Where: Bethel Church Basement
What: We are inviting our moms to join us to learn about our theme, “Think Right: Win the Fight” based on Philippians 4:8. You are invited to wear your PJ’s or “cozy clothes” and the evening will begin with games and crafts, followed by studying what God wants us to think about and how He can help us fight those “stinkin’ thinkin’” thoughts! After our snack at 9:00 p.m., the moms and all the 2nd and 3rd graders will head for home. The 4th – 8th graders are invited to spend the night at a slumber party at church! They will have more small group discussion about the theme, watch a movie, and then get some shut-eye! After breakfast, parents are asked to pick up their daughters at church.

We are asking that the 2nd and 3rd graders be taken home after the snack at 9:00 because experience tells us that it is more difficult for the younger ones to spend the night at church. We hope to have an event like this again in the future and by then, they’ll be old enough to stay overnight.

What to bring: your mom, your Bible & a pen, a water bottle. If you are spending the night, bring a sleeping bag, pillow, toiletries, clothes for Saturday morning. If you are an early riser, there may be an early morning walk/jog around town before breakfast, so bring your running shoes & clothes!
