GEMS/FRESH 7:00-8:15PM (girls in grades 1-12)
In a culture that constantly seeks to define girls through a worldly lens, we seek to teach them who they are in Christ. At GEMS & FRESH, they will make relationships, learn about God, and have fun! The vision is to see girls actively and enthusiastically expressing love for God and others and to be equipped, motivated, and passionately engaged in living out their faith.

SERIES OVERVIEW: A 4-WEEK SERIES:
During Christmas time, we're often reminded of our traditions and nostalgia for the first time we heard
the Christmas story. This week, we'll hear one of Isaiah's first prophecies about a savior who would come
to rescue and bring peace to the world. By looking back at this story hundreds of years before Jesus was
born, we'll see how Christmas reminds us Jesus is our Savior.
