GEMS meets the 1st and 3rd Wednesday’s from 6:15-8:15pm for all 2nd thru 8th grade girls at First CRC.   This year’s theme is  “TRANSFORMED”, Changed by God’s word from the inside out”.   Any questions contact Stephanie at konvalinka1984@gmail.com. 

Today we will begin a series on the “Solas” of the Reformation.  “Sola” is Latin for “alone/only”, and we will study how our salvation is in Christ alone, by faithalone, by God's grace alone, and for God's glory alone.  Hope you will join us!
