GEMS® - Godly Encouragement for Moms - provides an opportunity to come together with other like-minded moms for Godly encouragement in our roles as wife, mother and homemaker. The mission of GEMS® is to glorify God, to be daily witnesses for our Lord Jesus Christ, and to be helpmates in the raising of morally self-directed and Biblically responsive children through the shoring up of ourselves via fellowship with other like-minded Moms, encouragement, teaching, and timely answers to questions for Moms. GEMS® will also provide a continuance of the accountability provided in GFI classes.

THE NEGATIVE SIDE OF GOOD IN PARENTING

How cluttered is your life? Our society has formed a confusing web of competing values that clandestinely war against the family. We know that when good wars against evil we as parents know who the enemy is. We are able to draw our battle lines, assess our strengths and weaknesses. WE can reinforce our defenses, and develop a strategy for victory. But when "good values" begin to compete against other good values, all sense of caution is lost, and that is when our lives, and the lives of our children become so cluttered and busyness becomes a destructive way of life. What are the warning signs and what can parents do to manage all the "good" things available to their children?

Sorry, no childcare available
