The more we know: On March 1st, we were asked to over the next 11 days, consider 11 Reasons to Attend The 2026 GJM Family Reunion. Now 13 days later, here is the 11th reason, along with the other 10 Reasons for all of our consideration-
Reason #11- Because Family Is a Lifetime Blessing-The theme says it best: Eleven Years of Memories, A Lifetime of Love. We gather not just to remember — but to continue building something lasting.

Reason #10 - Recommit to Unity-Eleven years proves this is more than an event — it’s a commitment to stay connected.
Reason #9 - Enjoy Family Traditions-Food, fellowship, games, laughter and those signature dishes that only our family can make!
Reason #8 - Capture Milestone Moments- From anniversary celebrations to new babies and accomplishments — we celebrate it all.
Reason #7 - Give Thanks Together-Psalm 126:3 reminds us that God has done great things for us — and reunion is our joyful response.
Reason #6 - Create New Memories-Every hug, photo, meal, and moment adds another beautiful chapter to our family story.
Reason #5 - Inspire the Next Generation-Our children and youth see family unity in action — and learn the importance of identity, pride, and love.
Reason #4 - Learn From Our Elders-Their wisdom, stories, and testimonies remind us of God’s faithfulness through every season.
Reason #3 - Honor Our Heritage-We reflect on where we’ve come from, the sacrifices made, and the faith that carried us forward.
Reason #2 - Strengthen Family Bonds-Reunions reconnect cousins, bridge generations, and renew relationships that distance can never erase.
Reason #1 - Celebrate Eleven Years of Legacy- From our very first gathering to now, we honor over a decade of intentional connection, laughter, and shared history.
