Six-Week Bible Study For Men mens

Men, do you want to learn how to be more effective in studying the Bible? How about learning along with a group of men who are doing the same? 

Join other men in a study of the New Testament book of Titus.

Location: Fellowship Center

You will apply the Bible study principles to your own personal study during the week. Then on Saturday mornings we will all share what God has been teaching us as part of the group study. Come ready and eager to learn God's Word.

KSM Update

KSM October Series


 
No two worlds seem further apart than the worlds of science and faith. In fact, sometimes the two seem so far apart that it feels like we have to pick a side. But are science and faith really as far from each other as we've been led to believe? In this series, we'll discover that the more we learn about the way the world works, the more we'll learn about the One behind it all.

WEEK 1: Science and faith can exist in the same space.
WEEK 2: You can trust someone before you know everything.
WEEK 3: Build your faith on what matters most.
 
High School Bonfire & Smores
Sunday, October 27 at the Rogers' Farm
Drop-Off: 6:00 p.m., Pick-Up: 8:00 p.m.
Cost: $10 Covers Dinner and Your Pumpkin
 
October brings bonfires, smores, and pumpkin-carving and we've got just the place to do it - the Rogers' farm! Rumor has it that the bonfire can get as tall as 20 feet! Don't worry, the smores will be roasted on a much smaller fire! It should be a lot of fun. The $10 admission fee covers dinner, smores, and your pumpkin. (Don't let the fee stop you from coming. We have scholarships!) Bring a friend! Please RSVP by Thursday, October 24. Bring $10 cash or make your check payable to KCC (note to KSM events). **Let Mary know if you need help with drop off or pick up!*
