Food Pantry Sunday - Today is Food Pantry Sunday, so don’t forget your food pantry donations! Supporting our local Food Pantry is an on-going mission project of the Angelic Ministers. This ministry works best when everyone donates to the food pantry and then the Angelic Ministers will make arrangements to have the food delivered to the local pantry. Food collection barrels are located in the education building for you to place your food donations. Our local food pantry is very specific in what they give out, so please make sure you purchase only what is on the list (a grocery list can be found in the vestibule for you to take home), and please be mindful of expiration dates. They will not accept expired foods. Backpack Buddies - Thank you ALL for the ongoing food donations you provide for Backpack Buddies. The weekend meals are going to children at Knightdale Elementary School who might otherwise have little or no food from Friday until they return to school Monday morning. We need lots of kid-friendly non-perishable food items to maintain this ministry (a grocery list can be found in the vestibule for you to take home). The food collection bins are located in the Education Building and the vestibule of the Sanctuary. Thank you again for supporting this ministry. Faith Challenger’s Class Party - Monday, December 1st at 6:00 pm in the Fellowship Hall. Upward - Next practice is December 2nd at 6:00 pm in the Family Life Center. First games of the season will be Saturday, December 6th beginning at 9:00 am. Properties Committee Meeting - Thursday, December 4th at 7:00 pm in the Conference Room. Knightdale Christmas Parade - Saturday, December 6th at 2:00 pm. Faith Challenger’s Tea Party - Monday, December 8th at 11:30 am in the Fellowship Hall.

Also, if you have a change in the schedule for the children’s nursery or children’s church, please contact the monthly coordinator so that the change can be made prior to the printing of the worship bulletin. However, any permanent changes in the schedule should continue to be handled by the lead coordinator.

Thank you for all your help.

Attention KBC Parents: If you have a child participating in children’s worship, please make sure they are picked up at the end of the church service by a parent or adult. The children’s worship leaders will only allow children to be picked up by a parent or adult from the nursery, toddler, 2-3 year old, 4-5 year old, or 6-7 year old classrooms.
