EXCITING NEWS FOR KIRKWOOD SILVER! We will be having a Box Lunch Picnic in the

KW parking lot this Thursday, October 15th at 11:30 a.m. The box lunches will be

prepared by Honey Baked Ham Co. and Cafe and will include a delicious

sandwich or salad, chips, and cookie. See meal choices here. Call Wanda B. by

tomorrow, October 12th with your meal selection. The cost will be $10, to be paid

by cash or check to Jim B. at the picnic. You will need to bring your own chair,

beverage, and, of course, your mask! If you don't have a yard chair, we will have

extras available. Social distancing and masks will be high priority!

Q. and A. Open Forum this Wednesday, 10/14, 6:00 - 6:45 p.m.

Pastor Chris and a few Elders will be available via Zoom this Wednesday to field

your questions, ideas, etc. Drop by the Zoom meeting anytime between 6:00 -

6:45 p.m. to ask questions and give us any feedback; we're not expecting anyone

to stay the whole 45 min., just pop in and out whenever your schedule allows.

This is one more way that your pastor and Session are trying to stay accessible to

you during CoVid; expect these to happen periodically going forward.

The Meals for Vets

We are continuing our Vet Meal Mission by providing meals for 2 Vet homes (5 men in each home) every Monday and Thursday. These homes support Vets transitioning from

homelessness. Please consider assisting in this mission by fixing a casserole for 5 men. You can sign up through Signup Genius or call Gloria at 757-223- 4104/757-719-0995 or Zora at 757-833-6406/757-869-3784 and they will sign you up, answer

questions, and arrange for pickup.

Clothing for the Homeless

Please donate new or clean and gently used clothing for the homeless and the needy. There is a box labeled “Clothing Donations” in the Narthex. All clothing items are needed, especially socks and under garments for men and women... Books are needed, too.

Building Use

If you're a part of a group that would like to use our facility, please route that

request through the church office. Our Session has recently created guidelines

for the building's use, and we want to ensure that every group is following them.

When you contact the church office, we'll give you those guidelines, as well as

help find you a suitable room in which to meet. Thanks for your help in this!

KirkWood Shirts - Outreach will be ordering long-

sleeved Kirkwood logo T-shirts in purple, navy blue, and

Carolina blue at a cost of $12.00 each, adult sizes small

thru 3XL. Call or email June R. or Toni F. by Oct. 31st if you

would like one. Payment upon delivery.

Contact June at 757-867-9022 (jritter2962@gmail.com)

or Toni at 719-237-1156 (fishermd1@gmail.com)

Young Adults – We’re curious if there’s a need or desire for a young adults group here at KW? Think ages 18-25. If a group like that would meet a need for you, let Pastor Chris know (pastorchriskwpc@gmail.com), and we’ll work on getting it started soon. Also, if you feel called to help lead this group, please contact Pastor Chris.

Need a Small Group? So much of the richness of church life comes from relational connection - and that happens best outside of a Sunday morning worship service. The need of this small group connection is heightened due to CoVid; so many of us feel disconnected and alone, and we need to plug in and support one another. Are you without a small group or adult Sunday School class right now? If so, we'd like to help you get engaged in a group, which may mean KW creating a few new ones. These might meet via Zoom or in-person, if done safely. Interested? Let Rich Egyud (regyud@gmail.com) or Pastor Chris know (pastorchriskwpc@gmail.com).

2020 Pumpkin Patch

We need your help!

1. Our second delivery date is Saturday, October 17th! The pumpkins will arrive

in big bins that will be moved into the patch area with a forklift “appropriately”

distanced. A family group or a small group (2-3 persons) will be assigned to

empty each bin onto pallets. Masks are required. Please plan to arrive at

10AM on Oct. 17th to help.

2. The Pumpkin Patch SignUpGenius is up and running. Please volunteer for a

2-hour shift in the Pumpkin Patch. The Pumpkin Patch area will be set up to

keep distances, have plexiglass shields, require masks under the canopy, and

procedures to keep surfaces cleaned.

Hours are shorter this year:

Monday to Thursday: 2pm – 7pm

Friday: 2pm – 8pm

Saturday: 10am – 8pm

Sunday: Noon – 6pm

The link to the SignUpGenius is:

If you have questions, please contact Jen C. or Elisabeth K.

One Great Hour of Sharing - Next Sunday, October 18th will be the OGHS dedication. One way that KirkWood can respond to the needs of others is by supporting ministries of compassion and justice through “One Great Hour of Sharing” (OGHS). Please continue to bring in your OGHS Donations (Fish Boxes), there's a basket as you enter the sanctuary for them (Note: If you have a fish box to donate but do not plan to visit the church building please call the church office or anyone on the Mission Committee and we will make arrangements to pick it up from you).

These Days – This is your last chance to sign up for a

2021 subscription for These Days devotional books.

Please call or email the church office by Tuesday,

October 13th and leave a message. The subscription

is $6.00. You can put a check in the offering plate (or

mail it). Please write your offering number and “These

Days” on the memo line.

Pastor Chris is usually in the office Sunday – Thursday Please call the office or email Chris before coming.
