PLEASE READ ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF THE POST AND EMAIL ME BACK REGARDING YOUR DAUGHTER HELPING FOR TACO NIGHT. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR MY PLANNING. THANK YOU!!!
Tomorrow, April 27, is our last regular GEMS meeting, at church, from 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. I hope to see all the girls there! GEMS Sunday will be one week from today, Sunday, May 3. Here is the information you need for that:
On GEMS
Sunday our goals are to thank the congregation for their
support and prayers, to share what we’ve done this year, and
to worship our Lord together with the congregation.
On GEMS
Sunday, please have your daughter(s) wear their brown GEMS
shirt and dark/khaki pants or skirt. (Jeans are OK if
they are “nice” jeans). Otherwise black or blue pants, a denim
skirt, or a black or blue skirt would be great. If you have no
dark pants or skirts, do not buy something. Just wear your
GEMS shirt with something nice. The point is to look nice when
we stand in front of the congregation. Please do not wear
tight yoga pants or leggings.
Please have your daughter(s)
go to the Fireside Room at 10:10 a.m. that morning. Some
girls
are greeting and ushering and we will give them their name
tags there. All the girls will sit together throughout the
service. The service begins at 10:30. You and your families
are invited to join us for the service.
TWO DAYS AFTER GEMS SUNDAY, ON TUESDAY, MAY 5, IS OUR TACO FUNDRAISER! I need all the girls in 4th - 8th grade to help as much as possible. PLEASE EMAIL ASAP to let me know if your daughter will be there. The dinner is from 5:00 - 7:00, so I am asking girls to come at 4:30, unless they have sports, and then I would like them to come ASAP after that. If we do not have enough girls to help, I will have to ask moms to come and assist the counselors.
Thank you so much
for all your support throughout the year and for the privilege
and honor of mentoring your daughters throughout this past
season of GEMS. All the counselors have loved and prayed for
your girls, and have considered their interaction with your
daughters something very special. We all love the GEMS
ministry and the opportunity it gives us to mentor young girls
into a living and dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ.
See you on April
27, May 3, and May 5!!!
Blessings,Julie Ball
