There is a need .....

Good evening all you beautiful GEMS!

I received a note from Angela and she has a real need that possibly we can help fulfill. She has opened her home to a friend that is 6 months pregnant. They are in desperate need of a twin size bed! Presently the young lady is sleeping on a full size blow-up mattress in the guest room. The room is small and quickly filling up with items that have been obtained for the arrival of the "little one". A twin bed would be a good fit!

Does someone have a twin bed to give away? Please contact me (Cheri Lynn) with questions or any information.

I hope everyone is having a great week! Are you enjoying the Bible Study devotionals? I really have enjoyed reading them and knowing that everyone is reading the same thing sometime during the day!

God Bless! I love y'all!

******* GEMS - September 9th - Kick-off!!!!!! *******

It's here!!! We're back!!!!! Wednesday night - 9/9/09!!!!! Yeah!

I can't wait to see everyone and see how God has been working in all of our lives! Wow! What a summer! We have had ups and downs, good times and bad times, sunshine and rain, laughter and tears, but always rejoicing as Women of the King - GEMS!!!!!

I hope to see everyone tomorrow night and get re-acquainted and caught up with everyone! I did receive a request for help today from Lisa. A family in our community lost their home and nearly everything to fire and they are trying to rebuild their lives. They need everything and so I have put the information below about sizes for clothes and some events that are happening next week. Most of all, I ask that you remember the Navarro family in your prayers!
