ANNOUNCEMENTS
 
NORTH KENT PASTORS SQUARE OFF is coming! On Thursday, October 26th, our very own REVEREND KAREN will be one of the featured contestants in this Hollywood Squares inspired event which takes place at the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park. Twelve North Kent area pastors will be there but ONLY ONE will be in the Secret Square. This is the 2017 FUNdraiser for North Kent Connect (aka North Kent Community Services). Reservations for tables of 10 are now being accepted. The earlier we reserve, the closer we can be to the center of the action. We can buy one table (or more). If you would like to contribute to securing a table, please see any elder. Last year’s event was great fun. This year promises to be even better because we’ll have our very own “square” in the game.  
 
Worship Center Thank You! The Sunday School class would like to thank everyone who worked to make our new Worship Center a reality.
 
Pastor Karen's email is Pastor.nkpc@gmail.com   Her office hours are Monday - Wednesday 9:30 - 3 pm. Contact her for lunch or coffee! 
 
IT’ BACK!The NKPC Fishing Contest is back on again.  Will you catch the biggest fish in 2017?  Check out the poster for rules and details!  Everyone is welcome to participate.
 
BOND WITH YOUR FAMILY:  Camp Greenwood is offering a family camp this summer July 4th - 7th.  All ages are welcome and you can pitch your tent or rent a cabin or bring a camper.  There will be activities planned and you and or your children can participate if you would like, as well as time set aside for Bible Study for adults and kids. Evenings will be filled with campfires, gourmet s'mores and group activities. Take this opportunity to unwind and appreciate the joys of Christian community and magnificent creation!
 
Waterers needed!  If you enjoy working outside, you are invited to come and to water our new plants, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. They could use a drink on a daily basis, especially when it is over 80 degrees. 

News from North Kent Connect! North Kent Connect (formerly North Kent Community Services) connects people to the resources they need–anything from food to job training to fellowship–to help residents in northern Kent County meet basic needs and work towards economic independence. In order to help even more people in the community, it is opening North Kent Connect Store on Friday, August 4. Anyone can shop there for high-quality, gently-used clothing and household goods at affordable prices. Every purchase will help local families better their lives through North Kent’s empowerment programs. And of course…Donations are needed! North Kent Connect is looking for donations of clothing, household items, furniture, and sporting goods. Donations are accepted Monday-Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Friday-Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. For more information visit nkconnect.org.

Dennis Stovall Resignation  It is with great sadness that the session announces the acceptance of the resignation of our beloved Choir and Bell Director, Dennis Stovall.  Dennis has brought so many gifts and such a great sense of humor to the music and the community of North Kent Presbyterian as our Music Director.  He will be intensely missed and he leaves with our deepest thanks and appreciation for all the superb work he has done here.  Dennis encourages us to celebrate our wonderful ten years together and to let him go.  A committee is being formed to seek out interested candidates for the Choir Director and Bell Director positions.  Please keep both the search committee and Dennis in your continued prayers.
