Souper Bowl Sunday

KBC Family,

One more reminder before the weekend – this Sunday is Super Bowl Sunday…

Which means it's also SOUPER Bowl Sunday! On this Sunday each year, we collect canned goods and donations for local food pantries. So come prepared this Sunday – bring a canned good or a donation, and together we can help feed the hungry here in Kenbridge!

For more information, go to www.souperbowl.org.

KBC Family,

This Saturday, the kids at KBC will gather to make cards for the shut-ins, then deliver them. It will be a fun time of creativity, friendship, and ministry to some of the folks in the church who can really use a little extra love!

The kids will meet at the church at 9:00 am to make cards. They should be finished around 11:00 am. If you have any questions, contact Ty Dunbar - ty.kfd28@embarqmail.com.

See you then!

Neighbors Helping Neighbors Project – June 2012

Jon (admin) — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 16:34:09 +0000

KBC Family – Steve Gary asked me to forward the following on to you. Please put this on your calendars now and make plans to participate!

To: Kenbridge Baptist Church Family

From: Steve Gary

RE: Neighbors Helping Neighbors

Dates to Remember: June 8 & 9, 2012

Times: TBA

Our church, along with Kenbridge Methodist Church, is organizing a Neighbors Helping Neighbors project

for our community. It is designed to help anyone with low income, fixed income or health issues who may

need help with small projects around their homes or yards. The work will involve very basic carpentry,

yard work, outside painting, etc. No major skills needed! There will be no electrical, plumbing, heating or

air conditioning work done.

Men, women and young people are needed for this to be successful!

The more volunteers we have, the more projects we will be able to do!

We would like to get an early “head count” of those who think they may be able to come and help.

If you can help, please contact Steve Gary (stevegary.kies@embarqmail.com).

If you know of any one who would qualify for our help, please submit the names to Steve Gary.

An application will be sent to them. After the application is reviewed and approved, their name will be

added to the list of possible projects.

Supper will be provided for the volunteers on Friday night.

Snacks, drinks and lunch will also be provided on Saturday, prepared by some of our women volunteers.

Thank you for your help!

This project is an excellent way for us to help our community.

We can be Christ’s hands and feet!

Two Announcements

Jon (admin) — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 19:17:11 +0000

KBC Family,

I hope your New Year is off to a wonderful (if cold) start! I have a couple of things to remind you about:

1) Tonight (Wed. 1/4) at 6:30pm we will meet at the church to "take down the greens" in the sanctuary. In the past, it has taken MUCH less time to take down than to put up, especially if we have lots of volunteers. Deacon meeting begins at 7:30, but I imagine with a lot of help we can have all the decorations down before then. If you can spare a few minutes this evening, please come help us clean the sanctuary up for the Epiphany season ahead!

2) On Sunday 1/15, we'll have a baptism service for three girls who have come forward in the last few months. Carly Roberts, Abigail Parks, and Amber Parker will all be baptized that day, and will also experience their first communion. I want to let you know about this so that you can put it on your calendar, but also so that you can write notes of encouragement to these girls as they are baptized that day. It's a special time, and I know they would each love to have reminders from you that, as their brother or sister in Christ, you will be praying for their growth in the months and years ahead.

Enjoy the rest of your week – hope to see you Sunday!

Jon

Hanging the Green – Wed. 11/30

Jon (admin) — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 21:40:19 +0000

KBC Family,

Just a reminder that our Hanging the Green event will be held tomorrow, Wednesday evening, beginning at 6:00 pm. We'll have a pizza dinner and light snacks, then decorate the church for the Advent and Christmas season. Here are a few notes to help you prepare:

CASUAL – It's "family-style" – we won't have a formal service, but we will work together to put up the decorations, talk about the meaning of what we do, and maybe sing a couple of Christmas carols. There will be work for the kids to do, too!
FOOD – I'll order pizzas, and we'll have water available. I'll also bring a few boxes of store-bought cookies or something similar. You do not have to bring food, but if you would like to, bring some kind of dessert or chips or something similar.
LADDERS – We could use a few extra stepladders of various heights – if it's easy for you to bring one, then bring it on!
EARLY BIRDS – if you can be there early (4:30 or later), please come and help us get the trees and lights assembled. Having these done means that the event itself will be shorter, because we'll have some of the tedious work done.

Hope to see you tomorrow. Come join in the fun!

Michelle Gary asked me to pass this along to all of you – my thanks too for a wonderful evening carving pumpkins!

——————————-

Hello KBC family,

A BIG thank you to all who helped in any way for the pumpkin carving last night. Whether you cooked or bought food and goodies, served food, organized tables, moved tables, put paper on tables, made sure enough food was supplied, helped with sweeping, mopping, washing dishes,or came to support and have a great time with our youth. Most importantly, we had a great time with family and friends!

A good praise announcement would be how Kenbridge Baptist family & friends always come together and help to make things great spite our busy lives and schedules! This is a praise and something to be so thankful for.

Have a great safe weekend everybody.

God bless you from the Children & Youth Counsel Committee
