GEMS Sunday and Special offering - May 3:  On May 3, we will recognize our church's participation in the GEMS (Girls Everywhere Meeting the Savior).  Some of the girls who have attended the club throughout the year will participate in a variety of ways during the service, sharing what we've focused on as a club in 2025-2026.  We will also collect a special offering on that date, a portion of which supports our local club, and a portion that is sent as part of our annual commitment to support the GEMS ministry service center in Grand Rapids.  Checks can be made out to Avery Street CRC with GEMS Offering in the memo line. Thank you for your support!
