Prayer Shawl Ministry

The Prayer Shawl Ministry is alive and knitting away. We would like to get a meeting of knitters and crocheters together monthly to have fellowship and knit/crochet prayer shawls. There are some shawls that Mary Downs knitted and we would like to add to them to give them to a hospital or nursing home. There is yarn and some needles at church for your convenience.

If you can't make a meeting, you can make a shawl at home. We will be meeting on the first Thursday of each month. Our next meeting is going to be in February and the date will be announced shortly. If you are interested in joining the Prayer Shawl Ministry contact dryan757@gmail.com or see me at church. Please pray for this ministry and the people that are involved so it will continue to be a success. See Cathy VanAlstine or Donna Ryan if interested or need more details.

  • KBC ANGELS - Spiritual Dance Team Bonnie Swanson is the director of this team. Rehearsals are most Sundays after worship service.
    The KBC Angels bring a special dimension to our worship services when they dance. For eight years, these young ladies have been giving time and energy to enhance our times of worship. There is a lot that has to happen before we can see them in worship, and it needs many hands to help. If you appreciate this special ministry for and by these young ladies, we could use your help in continuing this wonderful opportunity. Director Bonnie Swanson would appreciate a few adults who could help with phone calls, costumes, and rehearsal assistance, among other items. If you're interested in helping the KBC Angels ministry in any of these ways, please contact Bonnie Swanson, Beverly Benzino or the church office for more information. Your continuing support of our KBC Angels is appreciated!
  • Youth Recycling Projects - The youth have two bins to put your old ink cartridges in, one in the foyer upstairs and one by the water fountain in the lower level. Help them by bringing in your used cartridges.  We can accept all except Epson ink cartridges.  You can also recycle old cell phones to support the youth (phones only), and they can be deposited in one of the collection boxes located outside the office upstairs or in the hallway near the Fellowship Hall. Thank you for supporting the youth.
