GEMS
GEMS
Girls' Clubs is a relationship
building, club program created especially for girls! GEMS Clubs are offered in
local churches all across the US and Canada.
Girls in first through eighth or ninth grades are eligible for
membership. In club, many fun and exciting things happen:
-
Participate in team building
-
Develop important life skills
through badge activities
-
Learn how to apply the Bible to
your life
-
Make creative and fun crafts
-
Participate in service projects
that make a difference in other's lives
-
Find answers to challenges that
face girls today
The purpose of GEMS Girls' Clubs
is to bring girls into a living relationship with Jesus Christ. To help foster
this all-important relationship between each girl and Christ, other
relationships are nurtured as well - between girls and between girls and their
counsellor (leader).
Girls in clubs are organized into small groups with one leader or counsellor
for each group of six to eight girls. And it is through these small
groups, and the weekly interactions that take place in club that faith is
nurtured and developed, and long lasting friendships are made.
The name GEMS Girls' Clubs is
an acronym which stands for Girls Everywhere Meeting the Saviour. It
clearly identifies the purpose for which the ministry was created.
Time: Thursday evenings 7:00 - 8:45 PM
Location: at the church

Friendship Ministries
At
Friendship, we minister with people who have mental impairments, not to them.
We believe that we serve each other, and by learning and spending time with
each other friendships are formed.
We believe that everyone is created in God's image and that redemption is a gift
from God that is not dependent on a level of intelligence.
We also believe that our church is complete only when it includes all of God's
own children and when all people are seen as equals-in God's eyes and in our
own eyes.
Time: Wednesday evenings 7:00 - 8:15 PM
Location: at the church
