You are invited to participate by bringing bags of candy to the bins in the foyer, or "hosting" a trunk at the event. Contact Margie Schwarz (mschwarz@kcfc.org) for more info!

The death of a loved one can make the holidays particularly difficult. Our GriefShare ministry will be hosting a "Surviving the Holidays" seminar, with information for those grieving and ideas to help minimize the pain and distress during the holiday season. The seminar will take place on Saturday, November 8 at 9:45am. Please register through the church office by Thursday, November 6.
If you are not currently in a season of grieving, please be prayerful about who you may know (friends, family members, coworkers) who may benefit from this care. This seminar is a wonderful outreach to those around us who are hurting.
