"Family First" Sunday will be moved from September 5 to September 12, so that our children will be able to hear from our missionary speakers.

From the Schmelzenbachs: We are called to exalt the LORD in and area of the world where land is sprinkled as thousands of tiny islands across a vast ocean. Nazarene Maritime Ministries, with the FIJIBoat Project, has expanded greatly since it was launched in 2000. This is an exciting partnership with God as he parts the waters to make way for church planting, compassionate ministries, disaster relief, Jesus Film, discipleship, national leadership development, transportation solutions and ultimately... whatever it takes to keep moving forward aggressively with the Great Commission.

Starting August 11, and running for 13 weeks, we are offering another mid-week adult elective: a DVD-based study of Philip Yancy's book, What's So Amazing About Grace? This is a practical study of God's grace and how it is played out in our lives and relationships. Meets at 6:30pm and concludes at 7:30pm.

As of Wednesday, August 11, all Wednesday evening ministries will begin at 6:30pm, preceded by Midweek Manna. This will allow the schedule to be standardized throughout the year and will accommodate families that need the programming to conclude by 7:30pm. The only variable in the schedule will be the season for Kaleidoscope Children's Choir and therefore, the start time for Midweek Manna. When KCC is practicing during the year, Midweek Manna will begin at 5:00pm. When there is no practice, the meal will begin at 5:30pm.

Registrations are now open for the Kaleidoscope Children's Choir, 2010-2011 choir year. You may register your child one of two ways: 1) ONLINE:debplaskett@gmail.com or 2)before and after Sunday School and morning worship in the sanctuary foyer. The Kaleidoscope Children's Choir is a mid-week choir program, going from September through the first week of May. Any child entering Kindergarten through 6th grade is encouraged to participate. Your child will be taught to sing, to worship, to glorify God, to work as a team to edify our church body. Allow your child to experience this awesome ministry and all of the rewards that come with it.

First Rehearsal: September 8th, 5:15-6:25 pm

For further information, please contact the director, Deb Plaskett via e-mail: debplaskett@gmail.com, or give her a call at 816.524.2591.
