King of Kings Christmas Dinner Hampers
Our Church would again like to offer families and individuals a blessing at Christmas by providing a full Christmas dinner with all the fixings. If you know someone who would benefit from this gift let Clint and Juanita Nissen know. As in the past, we are asking for congregational members or friends to donate funding to support with endeavor. The cost of each hamper is about $150. Last year we provided 18 hampers. Donations can be made through the worship offering, or directly to treasurer Cheri, or to Clint and Juanita Nissen.
Young Adult Retreat at King of Kings
We are planning on hosting a young adult retreat (ages 18-35ish) at King of Kings the weekend of June 6-8. If you have a spare bed and would be willing to host a young adult or presenter for the weekend, please let Samantha know. All meals will be provided at the church, we’re just looking for a more comfortable place to sleep than the church floor.
Life Coach at King of Kings
What is life coaching? Life coaching is all about having a conversation or a series of conversations that help you figure out what really matters to you and what makes your life feel fulfilling. We have access to a Certified Life Coach, Dierdre Franks, here at King of Kings. This is a ministry supported by the Great Commission Fund. Please see the poster on the bulletin board in the foyer for more information and available time slots.
