Undivided attention from a caring adult is important to children, especially when they are learning division! We’re partnering with a local public school to offer free math tutoring to young students. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be a math expert. We’ve designed activities that any patient, caring adult can use to give a local student a little more confidence for the State Exams. And we’ll have some math experts on hand to help
Join other volunteers from Everyday Church and make a difference in our community. Contact Wendy and get involved: wendy@everydaycc.com. Or find out more this Sunday.
There will be four workshops, Saturdays 9:30am-11:00am.
February 23, March 2, March 9, and March 16

I’ve spent some time recently reflecting on 2012…as an individual, a father, and a member of Everyday Church. I’m happy to say it was a pretty incredible year. We have a lot of good reasons to be thankful.
But it wasn’t all fun and games. I was glancing back through pictures and noticed some from the weeks following Hurricane Sandy. Our city and the surrounding area were in chaos… power outages, wrecked infrastructure, destroyed homes and neighborhoods, lost lives. Sad and horrible and scary. Life in Inwood seemed fairly normal, but devastation surrounded us in every direction.
Here’s my prayer thought: the storm isn’t over. Let’s thank God for those of us who were safe and unharmed. And let’s ask him what’s next for Everyday Church as we respond to the aftermath. People’s lives are being put back together and neighborhoods need rebuilding. Faithful people around the country donated money to the Sandy Relief Fund. Quite a bit of that money was given to Everyday Church to respond to needs in our circles of relationships. Much of that money is still available and waiting to be passed on to folks who were impacted by the storm. Please pray that God would show each of us how we can help. Pray he connects you and me with people who could use the help.
“You will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous…” (2 Corinthians 9:11)
Let’s live it!

Tissues, Lysol wipes and cough drops might not sound like The Best Gift Ever, unless you are a school teacher heading into the winter! So the Everyday Families Group decided to serve students and teachers by making up winter survival bags for all the classrooms. They also worked together to organize games for students to play during indoor recess in the cold winter months. Just one more example of Everyday people making a difference together.

… in with Everyday Groups!
We’re shifting our Home Groups into 3rd gear this New Year. Thus far, our groups have been mostly about genuine spiritual friendship and growing in knowledge. But there’s a third purpose to them and we’re ready to for it! We aren’t backing off from developing real community and exploring the Bible, but we’re going to start rolling up our sleeves together.
We’re going to change things. Help people. Serve our neighbors. Because God works primarily through everyday people, we’re challenging our Home Groups each to adopt a mission or a ministry– to identify a group of people to reach out to, or a contribution to make in Jesus’ name. We want to be a church that is famous for justice and mercy.
To signify this change, we’re renaming our Home Groups. So, we don’t have Home Groups anymore. They’re done. Now we have Everyday Groups. That’s gonna take a little getting used to. If you catch us saying something about “Home Groups,” you have our permission chime in, “Uh, don’t you mean Everyday Groups? What’s a Home Group?”
Everyday Groups currently serve the youth in our neighborhood, children and families, and various areas justice and mercy. And there are others beginning to form! There are rumors of a Prayer group, a Spanish group, and an Arts group taking shape.
We feel like we’re on the front end of something incredible. God is on the move through everyday people. There is an Everyday Group— right now, or maybe even one that doesn’t yet exist!– that needs your unique talents and strengths. This New Year, decide to make the Most Important One the most important one to you.
We’re going to be posting all the latest so you can continue to find your best fit. But don’t wait for that! Get involved and help us make God’s dreams come true. If you aren’t a part of an Everyday Group, then Contact Us.
