Announcements

Lottie Moon/Global Missions - The Church Post Office is ready for you to send Christmas cards to church members. Please put your postage money in your offering envelope and mark it “postage for” - Lottie Moon or Global Missions. In addition to postage money for Missions, envelopes are available for your regular offering to Lottie Moon and CBF Global Missions. These offerings can be made through the month of December. White Christmas - Once again KBC is taking care of your flock! Most of the “Light Bulbs” from the White Christmas Tree have been taken and the toys are overfilling the box! If you do not know what is going on... This year the Deacons asked KBC to reach out to our neighborhood families who may need a little help with Christmas. So, the Angel Tree will be for them. On the Tree you will find "Christmas Lights." Take one or two, or as many as you like and buy the item. Each "Light Bulb" represents a Boy or Girl and an age. Purchase the new toy for the category then bring back to church - UNWRAPPED - and place in the box below the Tree. All items need to be at the church by Sunday, December 18th. The toys will be wrapped and distributed to the families during the week of Dec 23rd. So, if you or your Sunday School class or mission group would like to participate in this wonderful, Christmas spirit, church-wide mission and make a child's Christmas extra special then won't you help us do so? Thank you for your support and if you have questions contact: Philip Humphries, Diaconate Chair or Robin Farrington, Mission Team Chair. Upward - The next Upward games are Saturday, December 17th beginning at 9:00 am in the FLC. Everyone come out and support them! Angelic Ministers Meeting - Tuesday, December 13th at 7:00 pm at Brenda Hailey’s home. Weathers/Knight Circle - Thursday, December 15th at 10:00 am in the Conference Room.

Also, if you have a change in the schedule for the children’s nursery or children’s church, please contact the monthly coordinator so that the change can be made prior to the printing of the worship bulletin. However, any permanent changes in the schedule should continue to be handled by the lead coordinator.

Attention KBC Parents: If you have a child participating in children’s worship, please make sure they are picked up at the end of the church service by a parent or adult. The children’s worship leaders will only allow children to be picked up by a parent or adult from the nursery, toddler, 2-3 year old, 4-5 year old, or 6-7 year old classrooms.
