Family Promise North Kent IHN is coming our way, and we need all hands on deck! We are in need of volunteers of all ages to help us serve families and children experiencing homelessness. We need volunteers to help set-up rooms, make meals, serve meals, play with kids, take down rooms, and wash laundry after the week is over! Sign up for SUNDAY, TUESDAY, THURSDAY and SATURDAY. Together, we can end family homelessness in North Kent! Wendy is coordinating food planning. Contact her for details.

Suicide Prevention is a task for all of us.  If you know of someone who is thinking about suicide, please have them call 1-800-273-8255.  Together we can help each other get through the dark times with the love of Christ. 
 
Thanksgiving Potluck!  Everyone is invited to join the NKPC potluck on Thanksgiving afternoon at 2:00 pm.  Bring enough food to share with our Family Promise guests and come celebrate our blessings together.  The turkey will be provided, but the rest of the feast is up to you!  Sign-up on the bulletin board today! 
 
$5,000  Match for Camp Greenwood!  Camp Greenwood is in need of operating funds for the rest of 2019. A generous NKPC member has stepped up and offered matching funds up to $5,000 to inspire other NKPC members to give.  Currently $1250 has been pledged.  Can you help us meet the $5 K goal? You may either make out your check to Camp Greenwood or to North Kent Presbyterian with Camp Greenwood in the subject line.  Both organizations are non profits and all your donations are fully tax deductible.  Let's keep up the good work that God is doing through our camp!
