PER CAPITA TIME! North Kent Presbyterian Church supports the greater mission and ministry of our denomination of the PCUSA, specifically it's work at our headquarters in Louisville and its mission and disaster relief around the world. To support all those efforts, each member is asked to voluntarily give our "denominational tax" around this time of the year. In your giving boxes, there is a special envelope just for this purpose. Please put a check for $32.20 in your Initial envelope and either put it in the collection plate or return it to the church office. Thank you for your support of our denomination.

PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN (all women of the church, members and friends) will meet after church services (approximately 12 noon) today. How to apportion $3257.89 in 2019 will be the subject of discussion. Treasurer Deb reports receipts from LPGA Parking, Cookie Walk Sales, and Cookie Walk Donations totaled $3793.00. The Balance left on 12/31/2017 minus Disbursements during 2018 leaves $3257.89 to apportion. Treasurer Deb warns we need to leave some of that money in the treasury for unexpected events and expenses necessary to fund our next money making events.
FEBRUARY 3RD IS SOUPER BOWL OF CARING! While many people look forward to Super Bowl Sunday, we look forward to different kind of bowl, a soup bowl! Please bring a can of soup or a cash donation for the youth and the scouts to collect that day. Help stop hunger in Northern Kent County!
SCOUT SUNDAY! Our annual celebration of our Scout troop will also happen on February 3rd. Be prepared for a flag ceremony as they open our worship service that day.
FEB 10TH SLEDDING PARTY! Hey all you snow loving outdoor types, the Youth Crew is planning their annual sledding party on February 10th. After worship, grab your sleds and your outdoor clothes and head to Bertha Brock Park. We will be having a pizza lunch and then hitting the slope for some winter fun. If there is not enough snow, this event will simply be canceled.
SOUP FOR LENT! During the six weeks of lent, (which begins on March 6th), North Kent is planning on starting a new tradition of gathering for a soup dinner at 5:30 on Thursday evenings before Bell choir and Chancel Choir rehearsal. If you are interested in being a part of this new endeavor, contact Pastor Karen. A sign-up sheet will be available soon.
ANNUAL REPORTS ARE DUE. It is that time of the year again. If you are a committee leader, your annual report for 2018 is due by January 31. Guido is taking names and making a list of those individuals who are going to being held responsible to turn this information into the church office in electronic format. Please, for your own sake, be diligent!
CAMP STAMPS! Children and Youth, do you want to go to Camp Greenwood this summer? Please let us know. A new system at NKPC called "Camp Stamps" will be revealed soon!
