GEMS GIRL’S CLUB
GEMS GIRL’S CLUB
In April, this year, Vale Village Church launched Gems – a club just for girls in year 6 to year 11. It’s a place where girls can develop strong friendships, encouraging and supporting one another in a relaxed fun environment. Through a range of activities, crafts and discussion we aim to inspire a positive identity based on Christian values.
Over the last 6 months some of our highlights were: a firepit in the summer, when we made bread and roasted marshmallows; we learned about love languages– the way that we best receive and show love to other people ( 5 Love Languages for Teenagers – Gary Chapman); how to be on the alert against bullying; making friendship bracelets and, recently, shining sparklers on a chilly, dark night – thank goodness for hot drinking chocolate!
Gem’s is run by volunteers from Vale Village Church. Our hope is that the girls will feel valued, confident in who they are and want to make an impact in their community. The response has been fantastic and numbers are growing as the girls continue to invite their friends. We’d love you to join us, so, if you’re a girl between years 6 and 11 come and join in the fun!
Gem’s takes places on the first Friday of every month, 6.30pm- 8.00pm at Wenvoe Village Hall, CF5 6AG. Follow us on Facebook – Gems Girls Club and Instagram gems. valevillage
