This week marks the 9th year that KCC has met publicly for worship. What a privilege it is to be a part of what God is doing in Defiance and beyond! What will KCC be like in 2023? Lord-willing, we will continue to work towards expanding His kingdom. But will we be doing so with the people of 2nd Baptist or not? That will be determined this Sunday. Second Baptist have already voted to join together with KCC, and it passed. This Sunday, the covenant members of KCC will also vote on whether or not to join with 2nd Baptist as one congregation. Come what may, to God be the glory!
Covenant Members’ Meeting
Sunday, September 25th
For nearly a year now, we have been prayerfully considering joining together with 2nd Baptist Church. The members of King’s Cross Church will be coming together on September 25th after the worship gathering to vote on whether or not to join with 2nd Baptist. A zoom option will be available (we will text it out beforehand). We will also have childcare and light snacks.
This will be a historic vote for the life of our church, so please prioritize being present. However, if a member is not going to be able to attend but wants to cast a vote, we do have a unique option for voting beforehand. Since the proposal has already been sent out to the members, you can vote on whether you accept or reject the proposal to merge with 2nd Baptist by emailing Matt Parks (matthew.parks@kingscrossdefiance.com) no later than this Saturday evening (September 24th). Otherwise, you’ll have to attend in person or on Zoom.
Fall Equipping Classes
Wednesdays through November 16th @ 2nd Baptist Building
Discipleship Groups
DGs are groups of 2-4 people of the same gender who meet regularly (usually weekly or bi-weekly) to either discover Christ or grow in Christ. We read the Scriptures and solid Bible-saturated books, pray, and share in the joys and struggles of following Jesus together. If you are interested in being a part of an informal DG, you can sign up online.

WE WOULD LOVE TO PRAY FOR YOU
We would love to pray for you! Some people think that only major crises of life are worth praying for, but the truth is that everyone needs prayer for something. James 4:2 says that we do not have because we do not ask, and when we do we often have false or impure motives. So the first step is to ask. So please come and let us pray for you in person at our Sunday worship gathering. Or, if you would like prayer now, just click the button below and fill out the form and we will pray for you.
