We have a terrific partnership with Blevins Elementary here in Eureka. Part of this partnership is our desire to assist teachers and the administration in the school by supplying some people who will donate a half hour or so of their time each week to tutor a student. The idea is that our people will make a commitment to come up to the school at the same time each week. The school will connect tutors with specific teachers and often with the same student each week. Tutors will work on reading, help with math, or do any other things the teacher believes will help the student. If you would like more information or would be available to serve as a tutor, contact Nick Allen.
If you are new to Genesis, or have been coming for a while and are considering making Genesis your church home, the Gospel Class is a great chance to get connected and find out more about our church. The Gospel Class is a five-week small group experience designed to introduce people to the core beliefs and values of Genesis Church.
The next Gospel Class will begin on Sunday August 23. The class will meet from 5:30-8 PM. We have an information flyer and registration form for the Gospel Class available at the Information Table. We also need a location for this class. If you would be willing to host this class contact Mike Hubbard.
Baptism is an important aspect of our faith, as people celebrate a new relationship with Jesus. Baptism pictures death, burial and resurrection, as people are submerged in water as a sign of faith. At the end of the church picnic, we are going to head to the Meramec and do some baptisms. If you have not been baptized, this is a great chance to follow Jesus and do it in a great place. If you would like to be baptized or would like more information on this celebration speak to Mike or one of the Genesis Elders.
We are going to do our Operation Christmas Child collection this month. The idea of Operation Christmas Child is that people fill a shoe box with gift items for a kid living in poverty in a third world country. The box can contain gift items, toiletries, school supplies, and other things a kids would love. You will need to pick up a copy of the instruction sheet from church or download it, and choose the gender and age of the child. Once the box is ready, include a check for $7 for each box you fill made out to Samaritan’s purse (if you are giving more than one box you can include a single check in one of the boxes for all of them). We will be collecting Operation Christmas Child boxes on the last two Sundays in August.
