Check out what's happening this week at Genesis...
Note From The Pastor
First of all, I have had a great time this summer exploring "Jesus' Greatest Hits" with everyone at Genesis. Even though I am the one who picked the scriptures in the first place, I have learned a lot from the gospels, and from you, these past couple of months.
We still have two more weeks to go with "Jesus' Greatest Hits," but I am also looking forward to our next series beginning on Sunday, September 12th. From then until the beginning of the Advent season, we are going to embark on a new journey together as we explore the Book of Genesis. I am calling this series "In the Beginning: Genesis at Genesis", and we are going to spend eleven Sundays reading and thinking about the great stories from the very first book of the Bible. We are going to start at the very the beginning with the story of Creation, and we are going to continue through the stories of the Garden and the Flood and the tower of Babel, all the while learning about Noah and Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and a few others along the way as well.
It is my hope that by studying Genesis (the book), we might even learn more about Genesis (the church).
If this is something that sounds interesting to you, why don't you invite a friend or a neighbor to come out and be a part of this journey with us? I am looking forward to our time together.
