The name GEMS stands for Girls Everywhere Meeting the Savior. Our club's motto is found in 1 Chronicles 16:34: "Give thanks to the LORD: for he is good; his love endures forever." This year's GEMS theme will be "Livin' the Secret! Having a Thankful Heart ". In our meetings we will do a variety of activities. Each grade level will explore, discover, and learn more about God's world, and how God has gifted each one. When we meet together to study the Bible, praise God, work on our lessons, badges, and crafts, our GEMS Club is in training to put their faith in action serving and sharing the love of Jesus Christ.
