September JAM’n News

Come see what's happening down our JAM Hall!

Students moved up into their new classes on Sunday, September 7th and we handed out Bible’s to our new 1st graders! We look forward to our new school year in reading through the Word with each of you… COMING SOON – Our weblog will have a tab to share our Sunday School curriculum.

We kicked off our Wednesday Night activities on September 17th with an introductory meeting! The students and parents were introduced to each volunteering teacher, given information as to what each class is for, and told where we will meet! We also let everyone know that we’re starting up Celebration Wednesday’s this year! I can’t wait for our first celebration on October 22nd! All parents are welcome to join us to celebrate each child as we recognize them for memorizing scripture(s), obtaining badges/stickers for moving forward in their classes, etc.

In our girls in 1st-5th grades are having fun learning to make a difference!

GA is a comprehensive missions education program which includes praying for missions, engaging in missions action and witness, learning about missions, developing spiritually toward a missions lifestyle, participating in the work of the church and denomination, and supporting missions.

Through participation in GA, girls grow in their knowledge, understanding, and application of the Bible. They also learn from the example of missionaries, believers, and hands-on mission action what it means to actively engage in ministering to others with the compassion of Christ. 

GA Motto: “Go Forward!”

GA Pledge: ”As a GA, I will do my best to live a missions lifestyle that honors God by learning about missions, praying for missions, giving to missions, doing missions and participating in the work of the church.”

GA Scripture Verse: “Give thanks to the Lord. Worship him. Tell the nations what he has done. Announce how honored he is” (Isaiah 12:4 NIrV).

GA Lifestyle Verse: “The Lord has shown you what is good. He has told you what he requires of you. You must treat people fairly. You must love others faithfully. And you must be very careful to live the way your God wants you to” (Micah 6:8 NIrV).

We look forward to going forward with GA’s as:

God Bless,
