Genesis Embraces Change in 2020
Where shall we start? Genesis is growing! Here's some bullet points for those of you who prefer to not read much!
(Speaking of growing we have a gardening class coming up soon!)
Here we go!

· Ashley Colgate was hired as Executive Director in December 2019 fulfilling a long-time desire to support single-mothers.
· Jildi Gentry stepped down as our House Mom in late 2019 and continues to care for the mission of supporting single mothers.

· We added a prayer team! Please feel free to join us the 4th Saturday of each month at 10:00 am.
