Our praise of God is more vibrant thanks to the presence of each person here. Welcome to worship in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

… I saw something like a large sheet being let

down from heaven by its four corners, and it came

down to where I was. I looked into it and saw four-

footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles,

and birds of the air. — Acts 11:5-6

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
