Join us in person or online Sundays at 10:30am for a collection of talks about overcoming expectations, conflict, and pain this Christmas season. You won't want to miss it!

During our Sunday morning Kids Program, kids will enjoy a special activity each week. Mark your calendars and invite a friend! Invite Cards are available in the Worship Center foyer to hand out to family and friends. Email Katie Conaway at katie@knoll.org with any questions.

All are invited to join us as we share communion during the morning worship service on December 4. At Knollwood, we practice open communion for any and all who have placed their trust in Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. If you are watching online, please gather your elements and join us in communion.

We are collecting the following items this month in support of the food pantry at Abiding Presence Lutheran Church: toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, and deodorant. Please drop your items in the donation boxes outside of the Worship Center. Email Glenn Keller with any questions.

Rising 7th - 12th graders are invited to join us from 3:45 - 5:00 pm as we begin our two-week series on Christmas from the Gospels. We’ll pay close attention to the announcements the angels made surrounding Jesus’ birth! We will have a large group talk followed by small group discussions to help apply the message.

Long time Knollwood member, Lalita Murty, recently passed away. Her graveside service will be held on Tuesday, December 6th at 1pm at National Memorial Park Cemetery in Falls Church on Lee Highway.

Pastor Mark Petersburg will be officiating the ceremony. Feel free to contact Judy Corcoran at npjudy@hotmail.com with any questions.

Ladies, we are one week away from cookies, crafts, and conversation! Invite a friend and register to join other women at Knollwood on Friday, December 9 from 7:00-9:00 pm for an evening of fellowship. We will be making adorable Christmas ornaments, snacking on cookies, and voting for our favorites! Each person will need to bring: a pair of scissors for use during the craft time AND two dozen cookies for our cookie exchange. Contact Arlene Randall or Carole McNamara with any questions.

The kids in our Kids Ministry will have a chance to "shop" at our Magi's Marketplace to pick out a gift or two for someone in their family. Then they’ll wrap it and take it home for Christmas Day! We need your help to make sure the kids have lots of great gifts to choose from. Click the button below for some suggestions of both new and used items we'd like for our marketplace. We are looking for gifts in the $5 - $10 range. All donations need to be brought to the church by Sunday, December 11th. Contact Katie Conaway with any questions.

In addition to supporting missions worldwide, Knollwood also supports those doing the Lord’s work in our own back yard. Locally, Greater Fairfax South FCA provides ministry and leadership to schools in Alexandria, Annandale, Falls Church, Lake Braddock, Mt. Vernon, South County, West Springfield, and MORE! Fellowship of Christian Athletes has been on one mission for over 60 years: to impact the world for Jesus Christ by uniting two passions, faith and athletics. Steve Able of GFFX South FCA will be speaking at the December 11 worship service. Click the button below to see GFFX South FCA's efforts at work in Fairfax County.

Today, we meet Kahindo, a woman from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) who has a harrowing story to tell. Like many refugees in the DRC, she has faced loss and trauma on a scale that's hard to imagine here in the West. Yet, she is still praising the Lord. Sadly, her story is one in a sea of many who have suffered at the hands of extremists in the DRC. Please take a moment today to pray for her and other believers who have endured similar tragedies. If you desire to learn more about ICC and the work they are doing throughout the world, please contact Glenn Keller.
