altar and is also used for

the preparation,

consecration, and

distribution of the Lord’s

The King of

Glory Cross:

The cross is a

variant of the

historic Flowered

Cross. This cross

is a development

of the Budded

Cross, once worn

on the tunics of

knights.

The intersection

of the cross arms

and stem is

surmounted by a

crown, symbol of

Christ’s kingship.

In the interstices

are carved rays

which depict

Christ's glory,

and behind the

rays a disc

represents

eternity.

Mr. Thomas

Wessels of

Newport News is

the artist and

craftsman who

constructed the

cross.

Women’s Weight Management Group. The group, which is under the auspices of the Parish Nurse, has been meeting twice per month since February. This is a unique ap-proach to weight management that is not a diet, but a process to create an understanding of how to develop techniques for managing one’s weight. The Group recently completed an exploration of The End of Overeating, by David Kessler. Mem-bers have shared experiences, recipes, food samples and helpful publications. There are no public weigh-ins. Currently there are several openings for new members. A detailed description of the activity is available in the Welcome Center with a signup sheet. The next meeting is Sept. 12 at

9:30 AM, Life Enrichment Room 4. A brief orientation will be provided for those interested in joining.

Announcing a new ministry: Women's Ministry! The kick-off event is Sept. 13, 9:30-11:00 AM in the Fellowship Hall. Kate Chuckney will be our speaker and has a wealth of information about women's ministry. Christy King will provide music for this event. Come check out this new ministry and meet fellow members who may attend a different service. Breakfast and babysitting will be provided.

Prayer Shawl Ministry: Mark your calendars for September 13 at 9 AM. The Prayer Shawl Ministry will be meeting at church. Materials and new patterns for knitting and crocheting prayer shawls are available. New members are always welcome. Contact Sheila Heim or Carol Schmidt with any questions.

FOLKS, Tuesday, Sept. 16, 11 AM: Fellowship, Outings, Luncheons, and Knowledge for Seniors (FOLKS) will be having a “Back to School” lunch and program at their next meeting. Lunch will be a school special: subs, chips, fresh veggies, drinks, and for dessert our favorite cookies and Dixie Cups. Following lunch Michelle Clauberg, KoG’s Pre-School and Kindergarten Director, will be our guest speaker. Also at this meeting FOLKS will be collecting school supplies for local students in need. Bo Wingate will deliver our supplies to area charities to distribute where needed.

FOLKS will gather at 11:00 for social time before the 11:30 luncheon. There will be a sign-up sheet at the Welcome Center (include any guests you invite). If you need a ride to this meeting, please contact Pastor Chip Froehlich, Pastor of Senior Ministries (220.6783).

By the Living Water.” Come to the River City for a weekend of worship, Bible study, interest sessions, great speakers and awesome music!

Small Groups and The Story: Beginning on October 12th, King of Glory will be starting a congregation-wide Small Group study of The Story. Small Groups are comprised of 8-12 people who meet twice a month to come together in fellowship, study, and prayer. The goal of Small Groups is for people to grow in their faith and to connect to their brothers and sisters in Christ. We invite you all to join in a Small Group. Please prayerfully consider joining one, and keep your eyes open for more information. If you have any questions please contact Pastor Hengst at [email protected] or at 258-9701.

LOOKING AHEAD:

WORDS TO LIVE BY: Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

—-Romans 12: 12

Good news! Flooring is being installed in the narthex and nursery . This means lots of items will need to be relocated during this

(approximately) 2-3 week period of demolition and installation. Be prepared for dust, noise, disruption...and soon a new floor!

Thanks of the Week To Linda Winterhoff and Debbie Ward who prepared the prayer guides to assist us as

we walk through this campus and shroud it In prayer.

The Story: Beginning in September, the congregation will come together for a joint

project to increase biblical literacy and receive biblical blessing by reading the biblical text of both the Old and New Testaments arranged chronologically in 31 chapters.

Called The Story, this Bible will be presented as the basic text in preparation for sermons, worship themes and Bible Studies each week. The Story will touch every aspect of our congregational life over this next ministry year. Sunday School, Adult Education, Small Groups, Youth Ministry, and even our preschool religion time will involve and share The Story.

We will journey together and discover--for the first time or once again in a new way--how our story is woven into God’s story. We will explore how God’s story touches our lives so that in turn we may live and share His story.

Here is how it works:

Between now and September 14 you are invited to purchase The Story. Harry Grimes serves as our point of contact for this opportunity. An order guide has been prepared and sent through our e-blast. You may also pick one up at the Welcome Center.

Order forms and payment may be submitted at The Story box at the Welcome Center or given to Harry Grimes.

We are asking you to pre-order, and books will then be available for pick-up on Sunday, August 24, 31, and September 7.

Please do not let the cost of the books hinder you from taking this journey with us. If cost is a concern, please speak with Pastor Harmon, Pastor Hengst, or Tara Wolf.

Page 10: The Season of Pentecost - ChristianWorldMedia.com...September 3, 2014 The season of Pentecost is celebrating from Sunday to Sunday the life-giving words and works of Christ. Today

We are asking the entire congregation to make a commitment to be part of this journey. When you pick up The Story you will be invited to place your name on a card that will be added The Story wall: a witness to all who gather of who is embarking on this journey.

If you have already purchased The Story, we invite you to add your names to the wall on Sunday August 24, 31 and September 7.

Together, we begin reading on the evening of Sunday, September 14. You will have a whole week to read one chapter of The Story. Take a look at how the flow of each week will proceed:

Sunday evening, begin reading the chapter for the week.

Wednesday Bible Studies (9:30 AM and 6:30 PM) will focus on the chapter you are reading.

Sunday Morning, the chapter comes to a close. When you come to worship, the sermon will focus on what you have read as we ask the question: How does God’s story apply to your story?

Sunday Morning Education focuses on digging deeper into some of the accounts and revealing deeper truths about what you have read.

Sunday Evening, begin reading the chapter for the coming week to continue the process.

Sunday Evening-->Wednesday Study-->Sunday Morning-->Sunday Evening

This is a great opportunity for each person in our community (Connect). This is a great opportunity for your neighbors and friends (Live). Think what a great blessing it will be to receive an in-depth understanding of the Word of God and how our story is woven into His (Grow).

The members of the Congregation have been very generous with their contributions to the 2014 MDF (Mission Dedicated Fund), and contributions continue to be received. For that we are extremely thankful. King of Glory’s ability to reach out and help others depends on this fund.

The MDF addresses needs that exist nationally, internationally, and also needs of our community, in a number of ways. One of the ways your MDF contributions support our community is through our Human Care Partnership with the Community Resource Center of the United Way. In 2014, this fund, through the end of July, has provided $3208.72 to assist 18 community families escape eviction, prevent utility disconnect (or to reconnect), make a deposit to get out of a motel room into an apartment, and to obtain emergency medications, among other things.

There are 18 different stories behind these 18 gifts. Many went to single parents with small children, some went to elderly couples, one to a truck driver who had a leg amputated, and one was for a family living in a camper damaged by a storm. All funds were well spent doing what Jesus commanded Christians to do when our brothers and sisters are in need.

Other MDF areas of local Ministry, such as Homeless and Hungry, Homeless Discretionary, Winter Shelter, Greater Williamsburg Outreach Mission, 3eRestoration and local Financial Support to other “helping” organizations will be covered in later editions of the News &Notes.

We praise God for not only the funds to be able to help others, but also for the many who give of their time and abilities to make these ministries possible.
