FROM NORTH KENT CONNECT: Thank you very much for your donation of 101 pounds of food and personal care items to North Kent Connect.  We appreciate your generosity so much! As a staff member here, I know firsthand the impact of your donation.  Your generosity aids many families right here in our own community.  We could not do what we do without you!  Please continue to support our ministry by shopping at our thrift store Tuesday, Friday, or Saturday.  All proceeds help our clients with basic needs and empower them to economic independence.  Thanks again. Erin Niece

NKPC 2018 FISHING CONTEST!  Our annual fishing contest back, and this year it will be even easier to score points.  We will be using Michigan's "Master Angler" records to score our fish and to compete against each other for a $50 prize and very important bragging rights!  Submit your photo of your catch next to a tape measure to enter the contest.  Multiple entries encouraged.  Everyone is invited to participate. Don't let the big prize get away!

This Sunday is Pentecost. It's time for the Pentecost Offering! Use the “Pentecost Offering” envelope in your box, give online or mail a check to: PC (USA)  P.O. Box 643700; Pittsburgh, PA 15264-3700. This gift helps the church encourage, develop, and support its young people, and address the needs of at-risk children. 40% of the Pentecost offering can be retained by our congregation to help young people in our community. The remaining 60% is used to support ministries of the Presbyterian Mission Agency for Young Adult Volunteers, Ministries for Youth or At Risk Children.

ARIZONA PRAYER VIGIL.  Sunday, during worship, let’s commit our self to keeping the participants of the Kairos spiritual retreat in Men's Arizona State Prison Complex - Wilmot in our prayers. May the Holy Spirit flow!
