BRINKLEY HEIGHTS
High school youth and adults are needed to tutor 2nd to 5th grade children at Brinkley Heights Urban Academy on Monday evenings for 1½ hours August 23-May 16. A required orientation/training is Monday night, August 16. Tutors must be active church members willing to be committed to 2½ hours (1½ tutoring + 1 hour travel time from Kirby) for the whole school year. The goal for the tutor is to form a relationship with the student that can continue throughout the year. At the beginning of each tutoring session, there will be a devotional and prayer requests. Tutors are encouraged to pray with students, witness, and use the Bible as a reading tool. Applications are at the west registration desk or in the church office.
Brinkley Heights can use gently read Christian magazines and devotionals such as:
Decision, Homelife, Focus on the Family, In Touch, Mature Living, Our Daily Bread, Stand Firm, Journey, Today's Christian Woman, Christian Parenting, Open Windows, Christian Single, etc.
Each family receives a magazine/devotional in their food bag. They cannot use secular
magazines such as Reader's Digest, Ladies Home Journal, Good Housekeeping, etc.
