Philippians 4:4-9 Devotional
Because the Lord is near, we can rejoice in every season, release our anxieties to God through thankful prayer, fill our minds with what is good and true, and live in the peace that Jesus Christ Himself gives. With prayer and supplication, we are thankful for God's nearness. We are thankful for teaching us to rejoice always, to pray continually, and to be thankful in all circumstances. We pray that our hearts be filled with God's peace, and our minds with God's goodness, and that our lives be shaped into witnesses of God's grace.
God bless,
Pastor Moose

No-Shave November
The KNUMC Youth are sponsoring a No-Shave November Penny War contest. A penny in the jar of your favorite contestant equals one point, while other currencies equal negative points. If someone puts 100 pennies in Matt's jar, then he would have 100 points, but if someone puts a $1 bill in Matt's jar, he would lose 100 points. All the money raised will be sent as a gift to our sister church in Mozambique. Let's have a little fun and raise a lot of money!
Poinsettia Plants
If you would like to purchase a poinsettia for Christmas, they will be $10 each and will be used to decorate the Sanctuary throughout Advent. You may take your poinsettia home on Christmas Eve. There is a sign-up sheet on the table in the East Wing of the Sanctuary. Payment may be made by cash or check and placed with the offering; with your payment, please write "Poinsettia" in the memo line. Orders need to be in by November 23.
