Both In Person Services
in the Family Life Center
9am & 11am

Join us on Facebook live
at 9am Sundays.

Scripture
Luke 12:32-40

Message
“Do Not Be Afraid”
Beginning August 21st, we will be splitting our worship services into two distinct services.

9am will be traditional service in the Sanctuary with weekly communion and predominantly hymns.

11am will be a contemporary service in the Family Life Center with monthly communion and a mixture of praise music band and guitar music.

Transitioning to these formats is going to be a church wide effort so we are asking everyone to pray about and share with us how they would like to participate and serve. Below is a survey to share ways you would be interested in serving or are already serving. This form will help us know who to ask as we schedule people but not a commitment to do something every week. Training is available for all of these things.
Rally 'Round the Blessings Box

Join us on August 7th at 6pm for a Back to School themed Rally! We will be doing Backpack Blessings, handing out school supplies and backpacks and sharing a hot dog meal with our neighbors!

We will be stuffing backpacks between the worship services on Sunday August 7th. Please join us!

Come eat hot dogs and meet our neighbors at 6pm!
July Blessings Box Drive

We are collecting new or gently used backpacks, lunchboxes and school supplies to hand out at our August Rally Round the Blessings Box. Items can be brought to church on Sundays on to the church office on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Items always needed in the Blessings Box include canned soups and ready to eat meals, seasonings, diapers and formula, and breakfast foods like cereal and granola bars.

Thanks for Loving your Neighbor, KUMC! As always, please help us maintain the integrity of our Blessings Box. Please no opened or used food or hygiene products.

LEARNING THROUGH A LENS OF WONDER
Celebrate Wonder is a Sunday school curriculum that engages children’s natural sense of curiosity to help them understand God’s love. It creates a safe environment for kids to ask big questions — helping them explore the Bible in ways that feed their imagination and encourage creativity. Through carefully-selected Bible stories, songs, videos, and hands-on activities, Celebrate Wonder gives children the tools to explore their faith while incorporating it into their daily lives.
