Special GA Activities

Besides the fun of weekly meetings, the girls take part
in lots of special activities. See examples below:

Muffins for Missions - Each spring, the girls make muffins and sell them on a Sunday morning to help give towards the Annie Armstrong Offering for Home Missions.

Visiting Nursing Homes - Sharing Jesus with a smile and a hug on Valentine's Day.

Kidnap a GA - The girls have a great time starting at 6:00 a.m. going from one house to another and surprising GAs with a wake-up call to go and eat breakfast at McDonalds.

GA Camp - Camp is an annual summer event where they learn more about missions, study the Bible, have fun, swim, do crafts, have fun, visit the Snack Shack and Gift Shop, and deepen their relationship with God. As they learn to share Jesus with others in their daily lives, some of the girls, who have not done so already, ask Jesus to be their personal Lord and Savior.

Christmas in August - The girls collect donations from the church family in order to send a box of needed (requested) items to a missionary.

Cookies are taken to the police dept. and ambulance workers. Snacks have been taken to the local
hospital ICU waiting room.

Help with canned food collection for community faith-based organization, MannaFest.

Angel Tree - The GAs wrap gifts that the church members purchase for children whose parents are in prison.

Meet missionaries - Learn about them each week and meet some "real, live missionaries" at
GA Camp in the summer.

Earn Badges - Throughout the year, the Girls in Action work on different mission projects which qualify them to earn badges. A Recognition Service is held in May.
