CSI:Genesis
Christian Singles Involved
 
The CSI:Genesis singles ministry is available to any single individual 40+ whether separated, divorced, widowed or never married. The ministry fosters friendship, fellowship, fun and service to others, guided by Christian values to meet the spiritual, emotional and social needs of its members. 
 
Service

We believe that everyone has been created by God with unique gifts and graces, with the potential to impact those around us. Romans 12:4-6a teaches us, “Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us.” Service to others is an important element of the CSI:Genesis singles ministry. Members are encouraged to use their gifts to serve not only our church, but our community. Opportunities for service are provided on a regular basis to foster the use of our gifts and talents for the glory of God.

 

Activities

Just as we are serious about our mission, we are serious about having fun! The CSI:Genesis singles ministry is based on the premise that the Christian life is an exciting adventure, and we enjoy sharing our lives with each other. From game night to ballgames to Singles Salons, after-church lunches, community theatre, drum circles and day trips, there is always something going on! Check out the following calendar of events for more information.

  *  What is Taize worship?  It is a time for reflective singing and corporate silence...a time for focusing in on the God who speks to us in the silence of our hearts.  The great contribution made by the Taize community has been the popularising of a more contemplative approach to public worship.
 
** What is a Singles Salon?  The premise of the Singles Salon is quite simple.  CSI:Genesis members gather in a member's home to discuss a topic of mutual interest.  Judy Clarke serves as the Salon's faiclitator.  Members are provided with a list of discussion questions a week or so before the Salon.  And, no discussion would be complete without a potluck dinner.  This is truly a time of incredible fellowship, fun and food!
