Christmas carols and gifts! It was Christmas in July at the Kirk. Our youth shared how they are keeping Christmas in their hearts all year long. They made ornaments for all our members with important words to help us remember the Christmas spirit. Plus we had a youth group outing to the skating rink.

Bible study and board game night. The Kirk youth group knows how to have fun.

Finding our joy in sunday school. We learned how to find joy with all our senses. This Sunday we talked about vision and how we all see joy in different ways. Using a sunset tree prompt we all made our own versions and celebrated how different they were.

Thank you to Troop 777 for all your hard work filling in our playgrounds with these wood chips. We appreciate it more than you know!

The Kirk has 8 new members of the church. We celebrate today the accomplishments of these amazing young people. They are smart, funny, hard working and full of spirit. We are so happy to celebrate their confirmation today. Thank you to everyone who helped make this day special. Thank you to our pastor for running their class for the last 2 months and thank you to all the sponsors who are guiding them on their journey.

Today was a beautiful day. Beach Baptism day!! Our youth were excited to participate in preparation for their confirmation tomorrow. The dolphins were jumping and sea lions playing and God was with us! Congrats to the newly baptized people. We were honored to celebrate with you today.

To all the moms celebrating tonight and all the moms celebrating on Sunday. Happy Mother’s Day!

What a beautiful morning at the Kirk. Having our youth involved in service is always a fantastic addition. The garden was renamed and dedicated as the Bassler Meditation garden. We also honored all the work of one of our youth members who remodeled the garden and helped restore our cross as his Eagle Scout project.

On Sunday the Kirk O’ the Valley celebrated its 70th anniversary. What a huge accomplishment to be serving our community for so long. We have bigger celebrations planned for the fall so keep an eye out for those.

This is a very exciting time at the Kirk. We have not had a youth confirmation class in a very long time. Thank you to all the members that volunteered to sponsor these amazing kids. What a great start to a new adventure.

Today we gathered together to celebrate the life of a long time member of our community. There are no words that can fully express what we feel when we loose someone. But today we filled the sanctuary with her favorite songs and laughed at fun memories and cried as our hearts grieved. Mathew 25:23 says And the Lord said “well done good and faithful servant. She was absolutely a good and faithful servant and we will see her again one day in the kingdom of Heaven.

What a beautiful morning. Happy Easter to all of our Kirk families. We had a wonderful service and an exciting and full Sunday school. Our fellowship hour was so much fun. We had food, crafts and of course an Easter egg hunt. Thank you to the youth group members for helping us out on the hunt for our younger members!

Palm Sunday Service. What a wonderful way to celebrate Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem

Come join us for Easter service and family fellowship. We will have refreshments, crafts and of course an Easter egg hunt.

This family rocked their Sunday school kindness bingo!! What a great way to finish up the theme for the month.

Our youth group had game/make your own pizza night. We are building community through food, friends and fun!

What a beautiful service today. Once a month we have Youth Service Sunday. This week our kids sang, read scripture and played the handbells. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful group of kids who share their time and talents with our congregation.

What a momentous day. Our new beautiful gate had its official ribbon cutting. Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate. This is the culmination of so much hard work and dedication and it is very exciting to see it finished.

Our youth group is wrapping up their series on The Power Of Words. We made positive word pieces of art, we studied what happens when we use hurtful words and how to apologize. We also talked about surrounding ourselves with positivity.

Last nights concert was fantastic. Thank you Eric and Joyce for sharing your talents and the music of Ceasar Franck with us.

Wednesday night youth group outing. Pizza and bibles is a pretty fun way to spend the night and now we have some new upgraded bibles for the Angie Quinn Library.

We had some guest singers for Youth Service Sunday. Thanks to the Kirk praise band for letting our youth shine.

We are ringing in the new year with an exciting announcement. The hand bells are back. Stay tuned for the date of their first performance

The Youth Ministry Collective (aka our Youth Group) has been actively participating in some local beautification projects on our campus and the campus of our school. This week, we planted milkweed by the school's library to help support the butterfly population and bring new life to an area that very much needed it. It was such a fun project!

Our kids have such a heart for helping others. We are so lucky to have them as active members of our community!

If your family would like to get involved with our youth program, send us a DM or leave us a comment and we will connect with you. We hope you can join us on Wednesday or Sunday!

While there is much to be troubled about with the tense climate we have experienced this summer, we must remember our brothers and sisters in Lahaina who are still recovering from the devastating fires that cost many people everything they had.

This Sunday our church is responding to the call from our Presbytery to help raise money to send to Lahaina relief. We have dedicated this Sunday to be the day we make this happen in our church and we are inviting YOU our digital community to join us. We are so grateful to have a community that wants to help and we are thankful to have a small part in the process.

To donate to Lahaina Relief, silly click the link in our bio. Once you are on the landing page, select “General” and make sure to put “Lahaina” in the notes. All donations made this Sunday will be added to the final tally.

Let’s see how big we can show up for our neighbors who need it tomorrow. If you donate, please take a screenshot and tag us so we can share it on our stories 🙂 Thank you so much!
