Our girls' ministry is done for the school year, but had its big grand finale this May also with a spectacular Red Carpet Mother Daughter Night. We were invited to dress formal, so the girls and I had lots of fun picking out our outfits. I am actually wearing a bridesmaid dress from 1998! I guess you can wear these things again! Might take 20 years, but it is possible! :)
Besides the fancy treats, fellowship, and photo booth, this night is special because each class goes on stage for a special game or presentation. Ella's class read keepsake posters they had made about their moms. I kinda liked Ella's answers, especially the one thing she apparently hears me say a lot...
I love being a leader in this ministry. I love sharing this with my own girls. I love my class of now 6th graders. I love all the fun things we get to do, like badges, outings and camp. And I looooove the other ladies on the leadership team. We laugh a lot and have a great time together! To be perfectly honest, my experience with other church ministries I've lead has felt obligatory at times. This one has just been a blessing all around!

Jen, I am glad that you enjoy being a GEMS leader so much. I know that you invest a lot of love and hard work into the girls in your group. It looks like you have a lot of fun doing it also.
