We had a number of suggested “Questions From An Atheist” topics — so many that we decided to do some short videos on topics that didn’t make it as part of the Uptown sermon series. In this installment, Deacon Matthew Larsen answers the question, “Why do Christians reject scientific evolution?”

We had a number of suggested “Questions From An Atheist” topics — so many that we decided to do some short videos on topics that didn’t make it as part of the Uptown sermon series. This is the first of those ongoing talks: “Why can’t I do what I want to do if it doesn’t hurt anybody?” Fr. Greg Methvin offers some quick insights in response to this excellent question.

We’ve posted about 25 photos on Facebook from The Incarnation Awards. An amazing evening with $40K+ raised for student ministries missions! This is a wonderful testament to the continued growth and life in our parish!!

Did you know that dyslexia affects 1 in 5 children? This statistic may be even higher for children who don’t have exposure to books or reading opportunities at home. Right now, only 40% of the 350 children who attend our neighborhood school, J.W. Ray Elementary (on Lemmon and Caddo) are reading at grade level.

This is a real crises right on our doorstep.
 
Reading comprehension is the basis for all learning from the 3rd grade on. Without adequate reading skills the future of these children is jeopardized. We have all heard about the problem of high school graduates barely able to read. In fact, the ability to read on grade level by 3rd grade is so predictive of a child’s future that states use that statistic to calculate how many new prisons and inmate beds will be needed in the future.

This is a problem we can help solve.

We are fortunate to participate in a partnership with The Shelton School and J.W. Ray Elementary to provide tutoring for these at-risk children. Shelton is the largest school/research center for learning differences in the world. We use the training method designed there and successfully implemented in institutions everywhere for the last 15 years.

It can transform underachievers into successful and independent thinkers.

Although Incarnation will actively recruit from within, we welcome any volunteer, so please reach out to non-parishioners. Tutors are needed to serve daily at J.W. Ray from 8:45 a.m. to noon for a 3-week summer session beginning June 11 and ending July 3. Volunteer training will be taught at Shelton by Joyce Pickering, one of the original curriculum developers, at 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. June 4-5. If you are willing to serve in this ministry, but are out of town for the training, we will find a substitute training session for you.

Tutor candidates must be 17 years old and possess adequate verbal and auditory skills to teach scripted plans and to demonstrate proper enunciation of individual letter sounds. Most of all, tutors must have a willing heart to make a difference.
 
Summer Extreme Reading Buddies will have the opportunity to continue with the student in the fall once a week for an hour to simply read together.

We need 30 volunteers for this service opportunity.
