August 7 – 21 | For Washington Elementary
At Eastminster we LOVE our city! We want to see the Lord bless and redeem Wichita, and we want to be an active part of seeing it thrive.

Our goal is to serve and bless the teachers, staff, kids and families at Washington and display the love of Jesus in tangible ways. Let’s bless the 500 students at Washington Elementary with brand new school supplies to start off the year. Drop off supplies in the church lobby August 7 – 21.

Saturday, August 13, 9 – 10 a.m.; Great Room
Come hear how God is moving through the TUMI ministries, and get an update on the seminary that Eastminster helped build (from our 2020 Christmas Eve Offering.) Supported missionaries Bishop Charles Sekelwa of Tanzania and Boaz Masinde of Kenya will join us the weekend of August 13-14. Saturday morning in the Great Room and Sunday during all services. Bishop Charles and Boaz both teach TUMI seminary classes in Africa. Bishop Charles operates a seminary that trains up church planters to go to unreached villages and serves as a Bishop in the Charismatic Episcopal Church. Boaz ministers at a school in Kibera, the largest slum in Kenya. A team will visit their ministries in October, so come get to know them!

What if you could reach the world for Christ, one person at a time? Eastminster volunteers host a weekly ministry called “TableNTalk”, which meets in a home and provides a place for internationals to enjoy a home-cooked American meal, practice their English and hear about Truth. Without the cost and time of taking a trip across the globe, we can join in a global impact outreach to international students right in our community. Our most pressing need is for cooks. Volunteers cook one Monday a month. We’re also looking for young adults to build relationships with the international students. Contact Wendy Ferguson at wferguson@eastminster.org to learn more!

Event Details
We’ll kick off the fall semester with fresh Grow Groups and classes for everyone! This is the best time to join in a Sunday morning or mid-week Grow Group. Sunday morning classes for kids and students also resume, with something for all ages. If you know anything about our church family, you know that Grow Groups are the heartbeat of what we do. Our groups are each unique and they’re the place deep friendships are formed, milestones are celebrated, people are prayed over, meals delivered in times of need, and real life is shared. This is true biblical community, and if you’re not part of something already, we encourage you to take a look at the groups and then join in. If you have any questions or need help finding a group, reach out to Matt Jaderston at mjaderston@eastminster.org or 847.715.8521 and he’d be happy to help you get plugged in.

God has opened the door for us to continue partnering with a local public-school, Washington Elementary. Located at Central and Hydraulic, Washington serves 500 students in Grades K-5. You can make a difference in their lives by becoming a Lunch Buddy. Often, students just need a consistent, caring adult being a presence in their lives. You’ll be matched with a student who you meet with during the lunch period, once a week for the school year. Plan to eat lunch together, play games, read, or be a listening ear. We welcome men and women of all ages. To learn more, join us a for a training led by Youth Horizons to equip you with everything you’ll need to make an impact. You can apply to be a Lunch Buddy online before or after the training at eastminster.org/washington. Contact wferguson@eastminster.org for more information.

Event Details
(Watch for exact dates coming soon)
We’re partnering with Youth Horizons to provide gifts for at-risk kids who need not only the joy of receiving a Christmas present, but also to know they are valued, loved and prayed for. Stop by The Giving Tree in the lobby and choose the name of a child to bless with Christmas gifts. Then, shop for the gifts on their list (between $30-40), wrap them, and return them to church along with a personal note. We also have the opportunity to bless the parents of these children through a $10 gift card per family. We can’t wait to see how God uses these simple acts of giving to impact the hearts of kids here in Wichita!
The Giving Tree
1. Choose the name of a child (or parent) from The Giving Tree at church. Each child has shared a few ideas of things they would like to receive.
2. Spend no more than $40 and no less than $30 on gifts for each child. (We recommend that you buy at least two gifts for each child.)
3. Wrap the gifts (they can be wrapped separately or in the same packaging).
4. Put the first name and last initial on each gift as provided by the profile.
5. Write a note to the child and attach it to a gift or place it inside; this step is essential and a great way to let the child know they are loved by Jesus and being prayed for.
Please shop for gifts that match the interests listed on the profile of the child you are sponsoring. Remember that some of the older kids like gift certificates and gift cards. All kids love candy!
