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.  
 
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.
 
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.

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!
