The North Kent Presbyterian Church Annual Holiday Cookie Walk will be held Saturday, December 12, from 9:00 a.m. to noon (or until cookies are all gone).  Sign-up sheets are on the bulletin board at the back of the Narthex. Please consider baking and/or volunteering to work this event which is always a very successful fund raiser for the Presbyterian Women. Price is $7.00 per box. You pick. Come early for the best selection.
 
Photo Wall Membership Committee has decided that a wall of photos of our church family would be beneficial to visitors, new members, and our new pastor as well.  So starting on Sunday, Nov 1, and for the next several Sundays, our volunteer photographers,  will be available to take pictures of you and/or your family, after church for the photo wall. But, unlike in the past we will not have these pictures for sale. Looking forward to seeing your smile, the Membership Committee.
