You will notice that we are doing Sunday announcements differently.
The liturgist will no longer ask the congregation if there are announcements to be made. Instead, the announcement must be emailed to Pastor Darlene by Tuesday morning.
If there are a lot of announcements, it might mean that we have to limit the number of announcements and prioritize them based on the date of the event.

BLESSINGS BOX
Our Blessings Box is getting utilized by the community, which is great, but that also means that it is getting emptied out quite frequently. Please consider donating non-perishable food items, diapers, personal care items and snack food items (goldfish, raisins, etc) if you are able.
One person from the community told us she visits the Blessings Box at least twice a week and is especially grateful for the diapers and kid friendly foods. She says she stops by on the way to take her kids to the park and can almost always find a snack for them.

Children's Sunday School Curriculum - Holy Moly!
|
Come Join us for Sunday School! We are starting a new, exciting Children’s Sunday School curriculum called
Holy Moly!
Holy Moly strives to ignite a biblical imagination that lasts a lifetime—an innovative Sunday school curriculum for kids in preschool through grade 5. With a combination of animated videos, creative activities, and age-appropriate Bibles, Holy Moly brings the Bible to life. Every Holy Moly lesson follows a four-part sequence: Discover, Relate, Connect, and Create. Each week, kids watch an animated Bible story video, talk about the story, read their Bible Storybook or Bible, and try a creative leaflet activity.
All children are invited to join us Sundays at 10:00am in the Family Life Center for Sunday School.
For questions regarding Sunday School, or if you are interested in teaching Sunday School, please contact Children’s Director, Alissa Villarreal at
childrenandyouth.kumc@gmail.com
