Fellowship Hall and FLC Use - If your class sponsors Koffee Before Church, please make sure the Fellowship Hall is cleaned afterward. Please wash all dishes and put them away (so dishes are not left in the drainer), put items back in their places and take the dishcloths home to wash. These few simple rules should be followed by all groups using the Fellowship Hall and will leave the kitchen clean and ready for the next group to use. Also, if your group uses the Family Life Center or has an event, please make sure the garbage is taken out (especially if leftover food has been left in the garbage cans) and the floor is swept. Your help in keeping our church clean is appreciated! Cindy and Dale Russell’s daughter, Shannon Liles and her husband, Philip, are in the process of adopting a baby. As you know, adoption is extremely expensive. If you would like to help Shannon and Philip in raising funds to adopt the child that God has chosen for them, you can make a donation at www.youcaring.com using Shannon and Philip Liles in the subject box. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

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. We love our children at KBC and want to ensure their safety!

Thank you
