Girls’ Ministries Day is set for September 14, 2014, and GM Week runs from Sept. 14-20. This year’s theme, “Hidden Treasures,” will focus on the Bible and its importance to us as Christians. In the “7 Core Values” presented by IPHC leaders at last year’s General Conference, the first one states, “We prayerfully value Scripture,” and that core value is being highlighted this year by the denomination.
The GM Week planning packet is available for download by clicking here. This link will take you to the download page for GM Week. From that page, you can download the packet as well as other items.The packet will provide various ideas for presenting the theme on that Sunday as well as lots of ideas for celebrating with your girls the entire week.
Talk to your pastor about allowing your group to have at least a few minutes on GM Day to highlight your ministry. A PowerPoint presentation will be added around the first of September that you can use as it is or pull from. We also encourage you to receive a GM Day Offering to be divided half and half between your local GM treasury and your conference GM treasury. Supporting your conference allows them to create events for your girls and support for your leaders.
