We're sorry but the Trunk or Treat event on October 26 has been cancelled
WOW Returns October 8
When we pray the Lord’s Prayer, there’s that phrase about “thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” What is God’s will? And just what does His will look like on earth?
We’ll explore those questions and more during our Fall 2025 WOW series, “God’s Will,” which will follow this schedule for Wednesday nights in October:
· October 8 – God’s Will for Us
· October 15 – God’s Will for Our Community
· October 22 – God’s Will for Our Nation
· October 29 – God’s Will for Our World
Each weekly Wednesday session begins at 6:30 and runs for about an hour. We’ll have a potluck supper for the kickoff session on October 8, with snacks available for subsequent sessions. Please join us for fellowship and friendly discussion!
Stewardship 2025
With the return of the Fall season comes Stewardship season. This is the time of year to reflect on God’s blessings and how we might be a blessing to New Kirk and our larger community.
Throughout October, sermons will focus on the story of Nehemiah, a Jewish cupbearer to the Persian king, who is moved to rebuild Jerusalem’s walls after hearing of its desolation. With the king’s support, Nehemiah leads the rebuilding effort, overcoming opposition and internal strife.
The sermon series and Stewardship season will conclude on October 26, with Consecration Sunday when we will present our 2026 financial pledges to New Kirk’s mission going forward.
Big Grab Has a Big Reach
The Community Committee is pleased to announce that over $5,135 was raised from The Big Grab event held Saturday, September 6. (Yes, that is a new all-time record!)
As a result, New Kirk is sending donations of $1,250 each to these four mission-oriented organizations:
1. Christian Assistance Bridge, for emergency food, utility, and rent needs in our local community
2. Community Rebuild Initiative, for emergency needs in the Western NC area still rebuilding from last year’s Hurricane Helene
3. Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, for U.S. disaster recovery
4. The Outlook Foundation, for various international missions projects
The small remaining balance of this year’s Big Grab proceeds will be used to help support other local mission projects,
such as our annual Angel Tree.
Thanks to everyone who donated or bought items – your generosity will be making a big impact!
Coffee Bar Volunteers
Every Sunday morning, before the service starts, we enjoy a wonderful time of fellowship over coffee and some light snacks. We can really use some more volunteers for the coffee bar on Sunday mornings. If you are interested in helping, please see Elizabeth Davis. Thanks to all those who have already been helping!!
