North Kent Presbyterian Church: 10/21/18

ANNOUNCEMENTS
 
LIES, RAPE & MURDER: Please note: Our sermon Sunday on Domestic Violence awareness Sunday is about the horrific "text of terror" of Judges 19.  If you would prefer that your child would hear this particular Bible story later in their life, Jen Dennis is leading a special activity for the older children in her classroom after the object lesson. This sermon by Pastor Karen is one of the 100 featured nationally on Sojourners website.  https://sojo.net/100sermons.  
 
WELCOME SAFE HAVEN! Today on Domestic Violence Awareness Sunday, we welcome Kent Bosma from Safe Haven Ministries to give us an update on the construction of their new building and what is going on with this important organization serving Kent County.  Please greet Ken after worship at his table in fellowship hall. 

POP CORN SALE Our Boy Scout Troop will offer us a Popcorn Sale at NKPC today! 
 
SESSION MEETING The next Session meeting will be tomorrow, Monday, October 22, at 7 pm.  Thanks for all of your great work!
 
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! The Nominating Committee is looking for a few good individuals to serve as Elders and Deacons. Listen carefully and change your hearing aid batteries so you can be sure to hear the Lord calling you take a leadership position at North Kent Presbyterian Church.  Please confirm to Mike Frampton that you have heard the call.
 
JOY BIBLE STUDY The Joy Bible Study is back for another year of study and fellowship.  Everyone is invited to join this group of "armchair scholars" as we finish our study of Genesis and delve deep into the background and the themes in the book of Matthew.   Join us at 1:15 pm on Tuesdays in the conference room.  Snacks provided!
 
2.8 PERCENT RAISE! Our treasurer has announced that beginning January 1st, 2019, the US Social Security Administration will be increasing your annual cash benefit by 2.8 percent.  Seniors, please keep this increase in mind as you remember to turn in your pledge card to NKPC by the end of October.

The session will vote on the winners on 10/22. All decisions are final. Prizes awarded in both Youth and Adult divisions.  HERE FISHY, FISHY!
