Just over two years ago Sean and Aimee Worley

arrived at an apartment on the east side of

Columbus, the new home of a man named

Edward. He and his family had recently moved

there after they lost everything in a fire in their

Northland area apartment building. Since that

day in 2014, the Northland Chapter of the Bed

Brigade has delivered nearly 150 beds to

families in need. The holiday season is always

busy with bed requests and on Sunday,

December 4 we completed our largest, one day

delivery of 21 beds to seven different families.

We had a wonderful crew to help with deliveries

and set-up.

The Bed Brigade ministry is ongoing and we

receive calls regularly from folks who need

beds. Some of your tithe goes towards the

Bed Brigade ministry through the connections

budget, but much of the cost for bedding and

some materials must be covered by additional

donations. If you would like to donate

financially you can do so by giving a gift of cash

through the church or give Home Depot or

Wal-Mart gift cards to Aimee.

If you would like to donate your time to help

with deliveries and set-up, please contact Aimee

at aworley@karlroadbaptist.org . You don’t

have to have a truck to join the delivery team

and we’ll never send

you to a home

alone. We are

planning a delivery

day soon and we’d

love for you to expe-

rience the blessing

of serving the Lord

through serving

those in need.

On Sunday, February 26, we will

hold our next Cross-Generations

Service at KRBC! This means that

all but the very youngest among

us will gather together in the

sanctuary at 10:30 to worship. It’s

an exciting opportunity for young

and old to inspire and learn from

one another as we worship our

Heavenly Father. The theme for

the morning will be “Your Love

Awakens Me.” Pastor Rick will

deliver a shorter sermon and there

will be an element or two specifi-

cally geared for children. We en-

courage lots of grace for wiggles

and giggles and rejoicing at the

signs of life in our growing con-

gregation! Children and Youth

may sit with their families or with

their Sunday School teachers and

peers. The Nursery will be availa-

ble for children under the age of 3

if parents desire.

Thank You

Thank you for the planter in memory of my

brother Milton Wheat. It meant more than I

can express to know the love, concern and

prayers of our church family were with us. It

is a blessing that the Lord delivered Milt from

all of his suffering to his eternal home in

heaven.

Beth & Lew Ash

Thanks for you visits, prayers, flowers and

food during bob’s illness and passing. Can’t

begin to tell you how much the family appre-

ciated everything.

Thanks so much for the awesome service for

Dad (Chilton Gwinn). You truly captured his

big part of our life.

Thank you for the beautiful planter you sent

when my dad, Edwin Hamilton, died last

month. thank you also for all your prayers

for my family as we cared for dad over the

last couple of years. My mom and all of us

still feel the prayers.

Penelope Kauffman

Thank you very much for the many kindness-

es you bestowed on our family during the

time surrounding Dick’s memorial service.

Everything from the service through the

luncheon reflected KRBC’s commitment to

serving others and in doing so to honor God.

Thank you not only for the spirit of love you

demonstrated but also for the time and effort

each person who made the day’s events pos-

sible gave.

Sympathy to :

An Update on Our

Christmas Basket Ministry This is a long overdue THANK YOU message to all of you who

helped with the Christmas Care Basket Ministry last month. As

you may recall, the weather was pretty lousy that weekend with

freezing rain both mornings. Your turnout to help with the as-

sembly on Saturday was tremendous and our work together

seemed to go about as well as it ever has in the many years

we've been putting them together.

On Sunday, the icy weather caused many in our church family to

stay home which left us with a few dozen baskets in the lobby

that needed back-up plans to get delivered. God provided yet

again! Several folks stepped up to offer

their time. One spontaneous volunteer

was Bo Moore. He sent me this email

message that I wanted to share with

you.

"I had the privilege of carrying the well

wishes of KRBC and a gift basket to the

Overholts yesterday. Janet & I spoke to

George for quite some time sharing ex-

periences at KRBC with him. George is

someone I had seen and knew by name

but had never really connected with at

KRBC. The experience was so positive I

almost felt that I had stolen a blessing

from those that worked so hard in this

ministry. George was extremely thank-

ful for the thoughts, the gift and for

those that made it possible. I am thank-

ful that you allowed me to carry it to

him."

Keegan and Megan Murray both contributed drawings that we

included with Christmas cards in the baskets. Their mother,

Wendy, shared that one lady came up to them at church in the

weeks that followed and acknowledged how much she appreci-

ated their beautiful artwork and the blessing the images

brought to her. How sweet is that!

I delivered a basket to one lady. Her son, who doesn't attend

church, happened to be at her house when I arrived. Then, on

Christmas Eve, there he was at church with his mom! God gave

me a second opportunity within six days to reach out to some-

one who I may never have met without that icy Sunday morning

weather. Thank you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, for your bless-

ings of grace and mercy and love to our humble offerings in

this ministry! And thanks to each of you for your hands and

feet to help make it happen!
