Help Needed!
Are you called to serve and teach our youngest worshippers? Help is needed in the 3-year-old and kindergarten Sunday School classes. Volunteers are also needed to help in our preschool worship. Contact Margie Schwarz (mschwarz@kcfc.org) to learn more!
Alpha Leadership
We will be hosting Alpha Leadership Training on Wednesdays August 19 & 26 from 6:30pm-8pm. This special training equips leaders to serve as facilitators for a new ministry that uses video-based educational evangelism to invite people into conversations about a relationship with Jesus. Please contact Pastor Dean Blevins for more information.
Hymn Sing
The Times Square Sunday School class and Community Team invite you to a hymn sing on Friday, September 18, at 7pm in the chapel at Nazarene Theological Seminary. Music will be led by Dr. Keith Schwanz and Lyndell Leatherman. Light refreshments and an opportunity to tour the seminary will follow.
Who Is My Neighbor?
This fall, we are invited to accept Jesus' invitation through the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) to be a neighbor to everyone we know, even those outside our comfort zones. For four weeks, beginningSeptember 13, we will gather at 6pm in the Westside Room on Sunday nights for a study addressing how we might better love people with different ethnic backgrounds, those with a Muslim background, those who are a part of the gay & lesbian community, and those who struggle with mental illnesses. During this 4-week study, we will learn from guest speakers, and dream about ways we can build bridges to our neighbors as we live out the Gospel.
Ladies' Bible Study
This fall, our Tuesday morning Bible study for ladies will be
Gideon: Your Weakness, God's Strength. This 7-week study encourages participants to move from a place of fear and insecurity to resting in the indwelling of God's Spirit. The study will begin on September 15 at 9am.
*An identical study open to all will be offered on Wednesday nights beginning September 30.
