Our power is back and we will be having our services this week at the regularly scheduled times. Sunday 9:00AM and 11:00AM in the main sanctuary. We look forward to seeing everyones smiling faces!

Calling all Kirkwood Church family, we need your help. Trunk or Treat is Saturday, Oct. 26 from 4 pm – 6 pm. If you’re able to come and get involved, we still need more people to get involved. You can reserve a car parking spot, to help with the event, or donate candy/toys. please respond to this post below or sign-up on the sign-up sheets in the narthex/church lobby. There is also a box there for candy donations. Thank you for all you do to help us bless our community.

This is the sermon from Sunday after Hurricane Milton 10/13/24. Entitled, "Practicing Perseverance". We were unable to livestream due to the power outage, so Pastor Alex recorded the sermon on Wednesday so that those who weren't able to attend could hear.

Practicing Perseverance Sermon 10 13 24 This was the Sunday after Hurricane Milton.

Here's some photos from our post-hurricane worship in the Fellowship Hall on Sunday (we weren't able to live-stream, but Pastor Alex will post a recording of the sermon later today for all who couldn't attend). Praise God that we made it through safely, continue to pray for all those facing major losses, and thank you Jesus for lights and AC turning back on 10 minutes before the service started!

Power is still out in the sanctuary, and we have a number of folks still out of town, but we know the gift that gathering for worship can be in such difficult times, so we will meet on Sunday morning for a combined service at 10am! The tentative plan is to meet in Pfrangle Hall (which does have electricity and working bathrooms) for a simplified worship service and time for fellowship after. And if power is fully restored before then, we'll gather in the sanctuary instead. In the aftermath of the storm we continue to hold you in our prayers, and if you have any immediate needs please reach out to Pastor Alex or a member of our Session so the church can provide support.

NEW MEMBERS CLASSES WITH PASTOR ALEX

Pastor Alex will have classes for those interested in becoming members of Kirkwood. Classes start Sunday, Oct. 13th, and will be held between services in the conference room through the office lobby. New members will be introduced at the combined service on Nov. 10th. Please sign up in the narthex if you are interested in becoming a member or contact the office. See Pastor Alex with any questions.

Please welcome back with us this week Dr. Julia Piermont and the Christ Church of Longboat Key's congregation for both 9AM & 11AM services. Julia will be sharing the sermon this week, as we celebrate World Communion Sunday.

Due to Hurricane Helene, many still do not have access to the islands. Much of Christ Church's (Longboat Key) congregation, including Pastor Julia, does not have access to their building and cannot have services on Sunday. As a result, Christ Church will be joining us tomorrow for both the 9 am and 11 am services. Pastor Julia will lead worship alongside Pastor Alex. Please make our brothers and sisters in Christ feel comfortable at Kirkwood as we gather for fellowship and worship.
We look forward to a meaningful time of worship and community and opening our doors to those in need.
