Just over two years ago Sean and Aimee Worley
arrived at an apartment on the east side of
Columbus, the new home of a man named
Edward. He and his family had recently moved
there after they lost everything in a fire in their
Northland area apartment building. Since that
day in 2014, the Northland Chapter of the Bed
Brigade has delivered nearly 150 beds to
families in need. The holiday season is always
busy with bed requests and on Sunday,
December 4 we completed our largest, one day
delivery of 21 beds to seven different families.
We had a wonderful crew to help with deliveries
and set-up.
The Bed Brigade ministry is ongoing and we
receive calls regularly from folks who need
beds. Some of your tithe goes towards the
Bed Brigade ministry through the connections
budget, but much of the cost for bedding and
some materials must be covered by additional
donations. If you would like to donate
financially you can do so by giving a gift of cash
through the church or give Home Depot or
Wal-Mart gift cards to Aimee.
If you would like to donate your time to help
with deliveries and set-up, please contact Aimee
at [email protected] . You don’t
have to have a truck to join the delivery team
and we’ll never send
you to a home
alone. We are
planning a delivery
day soon and we’d
love for you to expe-
rience the blessing
of serving the Lord
through serving
those in need.

On Sunday, February 26, we will
hold our next Cross-Generations
Service at KRBC! This means that
all but the very youngest among
us will gather together in the
sanctuary at 10:30 to worship. It’s
an exciting opportunity for young
and old to inspire and learn from
one another as we worship our
Heavenly Father. The theme for
the morning will be “Your Love
Awakens Me.” Pastor Rick will
deliver a shorter sermon and there
will be an element or two specifi-
cally geared for children. We en-
courage lots of grace for wiggles
and giggles and rejoicing at the
signs of life in our growing con-
gregation! Children and Youth
may sit with their families or with
their Sunday School teachers and
peers. The Nursery will be availa-
ble for children under the age of 3
if parents desire.

Thank You
Thank you for the planter in memory of my
brother Milton Wheat. It meant more than I
can express to know the love, concern and
prayers of our church family were with us. It
is a blessing that the Lord delivered Milt from
all of his suffering to his eternal home in
heaven.

food during bob’s illness and passing. Can’t
begin to tell you how much the family appre-
ciated everything.

Thanks so much for the awesome service for
Dad (Chilton Gwinn). You truly captured his
legacy. Karl Road Church has always been a
big part of our life.
Cathy Hulse &
Bruce Gwinn
Thank you for the beautiful planter you sent
when my dad, Edwin Hamilton, died last
month. thank you also for all your prayers
for my family as we cared for dad over the
last couple of years. My mom and all of us
still feel the prayers.
Penelope Kauffman
Thank you very much for the many kindness-
es you bestowed on our family during the
time surrounding Dick’s memorial service.
Everything from the service through the
luncheon reflected KRBC’s commitment to
serving others and in doing so to honor God.
Thank you not only for the spirit of love you
demonstrated but also for the time and effort
each person who made the day’s events pos-
sible gave.

An Update on Our
Christmas Basket Ministry This is a long overdue THANK YOU message to all of you who
helped with the Christmas Care Basket Ministry last month. As
you may recall, the weather was pretty lousy that weekend with
freezing rain both mornings. Your turnout to help with the as-
sembly on Saturday was tremendous and our work together
seemed to go about as well as it ever has in the many years
we've been putting them together.
On Sunday, the icy weather caused many in our church family to
stay home which left us with a few dozen baskets in the lobby
that needed back-up plans to get delivered. God provided yet
again! Several folks stepped up to offer
their time. One spontaneous volunteer
was Bo Moore. He sent me this email
message that I wanted to share with
you.
"I had the privilege of carrying the well
wishes of KRBC and a gift basket to the
Overholts yesterday. Janet & I spoke to
George for quite some time sharing ex-
periences at KRBC with him. George is
someone I had seen and knew by name
but had never really connected with at
KRBC. The experience was so positive I
almost felt that I had stolen a blessing
from those that worked so hard in this
ministry. George was extremely thank-
ful for the thoughts, the gift and for
those that made it possible. I am thank-
ful that you allowed me to carry it to
him."
Keegan and Megan Murray both contributed drawings that we
included with Christmas cards in the baskets. Their mother,
Wendy, shared that one lady came up to them at church in the
weeks that followed and acknowledged how much she appreci-
ated their beautiful artwork and the blessing the images
brought to her. How sweet is that!
I delivered a basket to one lady. Her son, who doesn't attend
church, happened to be at her house when I arrived. Then, on
Christmas Eve, there he was at church with his mom! God gave
me a second opportunity within six days to reach out to some-
one who I may never have met without that icy Sunday morning
weather. Thank you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, for your bless-
ings of grace and mercy and love to our humble offerings in
this ministry! And thanks to each of you for your hands and
feet to help make it happen!

We enjoyed the Christmas basket filled with many
good things, and we enjoyed the Murray girls’ art
work on the cards they designed. Thank for remem-
bering us. Good wishes for all you friends to have a
blessings filled year in 2017.
Grace & Jim Hurley
Thanks to all who helped with the baskets, including
those who delivered them on a very cold day. As I
enjoy the items, I am grateful to my church family.
