Theme: Feed the Fire! This year’s
theme is how to avoid being a lukewarm Christian, how to be on fire for our
Lord. We will look at different ways
we can Feed the Fire in our Christian lives thru reading the Bible, prayer,
serving others, interacting with God’s people, and noticing God in the
ordinary.
Theme Verses: I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the
other! So, because you are lukewarm –
neither hot nor cold – I am about to spit you out of my mouth. Revelation 3:15-16
Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the
Lord. Romans 12:11

The ministry of GEMS Girls' Clubs has
been serving churches for fifty years. During these years, thousands of
girls' lives have been changed forever. Today, there are more than 23,000
girls who are members of GEMS Girls' Clubs, with 5,200 women

Although GEMS has been recognized as the official youth serving agency for
the CRC, it is a non-denominational ministry with club participation in
several different denominations and non-denominational churches and other

States and Canada. Curriculum
is developed from a reformed perspective.
