BAPTISM SUNDAY
October 30th @ the YMCA
We believe baptism is a joyful response to the command of Christ that symbolizes our death to sin and resurrection to a new life. On October 30th, we’re planning to host baptisms right after our worship gathering in the YMCA pool. Plan to stay and join us after the worship gathering!
KCC YOUTH BIBLE QUIZ PRACTICES
Starting November 1st @ Seth and Keri’s House | 6:30PM-8:30PM

MEMBERSHIP MATTERS
November 6th & 20th @ 2nd St. Building | 1:30-3:30PM
We believe that the church is the family of God on the mission of God. We love one another as brothers and sisters. Yet we are also missionaries who are teaming up to advance God’s kingdom. We believe this is best lived out in the context of covenant membership in a local church.
In November, we will be hosting a Membership Matters class for two Sunday afternoons, November 6th & 20th, from 1:30-3:30pm at the 2nd Street building (1945 E. 2nd St.). This is a time for people to explore what we believe and why we believe it. You will be on your own for lunch, but we will have light snacks for the meeting. Childcare can be arranged if needed. Just let us know at least a week beforehand. If you can only make one session, you can still pursue membership. You can makeup the session by listening to the Membership Matters podcast and then we will follow up with you. Please let us know if you are planning to attend by clicking on the corresponding button below.
COVENANT MEMBERS’ MEETING
November 13th @ the YMCA
We are planning to have a covenant members’ meeting immediately after the worship gathering at the YMCA on November 13th. We will meet in the cycling room. Childcare and light snacks provided. Please prioritize this meeting as we will be voting to approve the 2023 Money MAP (aka budget) and future building renovations of the 2nd St. and Florence Ave. buildings.
FALL 2022 EQUIPPING CLASSES

Join us for our Fall 2022 Equipping Classes for all ages which is held at our 2nd Street and Florence Ave. buildings (1945 E. 2nd St.) every Wednesday evening through November 16th. Food and fellowship at 6pm, classes at 6:50pm.

NEW CITY CATECHISM: Question 43
QUESTION: What are the sacraments or ordinances?
ANSWER*: The sacraments or ordinances given by God and instituted by Christ, namely baptism and the Lord’s Supper, are visible signs and seals that we are bound together as a community of faith by his death and resurrection. By our use of them the Holy Spirit more fully declares and seals the promises of the gospel to us.
*Children’s answer is the bold text
OLD STORY NEW FAMILY DEVOTIONAL: 66
WEEKLY FIGHTER VERSE: 1 Peter 2:24
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.
NEXT SUNDAY’S SERMON TEXT: 1 Corinthians 2:6-16
BIBLICAL COUNSELING at KCC
Congratulations to Matthew Parks and Marilyn Smith
for being certified through the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors (ACBC)!
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.
PRAYER REMINDER:
For praying for the McMaster family, and specifically David Morton (Roxy’s son, Kelly’s brother). He was recently transferred to a short term intensive rehabilitation hospital in Toledo. The results have been very positive so far (praise the Lord!), but there is still a long road to recovery. Keep praying for a full recovery, and, more specifically, that the next TBI hospital placement would happen quickly that it would be close enough for the needed family involvement. Additionally, pray for the many of the associated logistics (i.e. health insurance, long term care, and financial issues) that the McMaster family is spear heading. Pray that these issues would resolve in a timely fashion and that the McMaster family would have the strength, wisdom and endurance needed.
