Christmas Letter

Jack and Catherine Painter asked that the following paragraph be shared with you from their Christmas Letter. “The meaning of Christmas never changes, and, for the two of us, the spirit of the season is the joy of remembering folks like you. May your eyes of faith see Christ’s beauty, behold His glory, and experience His love. And may all that He is bring you all that you need in the coming year!” The Letter is on the bulletin board in the Education Building.

Please note: If for some reason you are not available to help on the day that you volunteered to work, we ask that you please don’t forget to find a replacement for yourself so there is adequate coverage during the worship service. 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
