“Praying Together In One Accord” KCRC Online Service for May 24, 2020.

  Today we welcome Rev. Marilyn Savage to KCRC.
Jesus has ascended to the Father. The disciples, their hopes dashed, go back to Jerusalem with mixed feelings to continue the ministry of Jesus on their own. How can anything ever be good again? Sound familiar? We are reminded that with the God that we serve what appears to us to be endings are often beginnings.

And so in this time of uncertainty, we prayerfully and humbly seek the Holy Spirit for empowered ministry to fill and renew us to be faithful ambassadors of the good news. We do this in unity with each other in obedience to Jesus and in anticipation of his return.  We hope you can join us, grab your bible we will be reading from Act 1:1-14.

During COVID-19 we are streaming our services, see link below for what is now an audio file. Wherever social distancing finds you today, your kitchen, your living room, by yourself or with your family, you are welcome please join us……

And, hey, once this COVID crisis is safely over, and live worship resumes (yes, we’ll let you know), we’d love to have you join us in person for worship.
We usually gather each Sunday at 10am.
Don’t worry about getting all gussied up.  Just come as you are – we’re a church full of imperfect people.
And we’d be glad to have other imperfect people, like you, along for the ride! STAY TUNED – we’ll let you know just as soon as Sunday, in-person worship resumes.

Cadet Sunday: “Hi God, it’s me.”

On February 9th, we celebrated the ministry to boys here at KCRC known as Cadets. They are a Christian Cadet Club (CCC), where men mentor boys in what it is to live an authentic life of faith in Jesus through the very real challenges of growing up and life in general.

Their theme this year is prayer-how interested is God in hearing from us? How hard is He to get a hold of? What difference can prayer make in our lives? We explored a bit of this from Jeremiah 29: 12 under the title, Hi God, it’s me.

Praying With Jesus – Yours Is The Kingdom!

“Our Father in Heaven… yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory. Forever. Amen.”
Ever noticed how not all Christians pray these words? And have you ever tried to find them in the Bible? Hint – it WON’T be in the places, like Matthew 6, where Jesus teaches the Lord’s Prayer.
So…… WHY do we pray these words?

This past Sunday was the end of our summer teaching series, “Praying With Jesus.” And we thought about the ending words of the Lord’s Prayer. How did they get tacked onto the prayer? Why do we keep them? And what impact might they have on our lives?
Glad you joined us for this conversation.

Praying With Jesus – Deliver us!

“Our Father in Heaven… lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil….”
Ever wondered what those words of the Lord’s Prayer might mean?

Before we park the bus on our summer teaching series, “Praying With Jesus” we want to think about this challenging part of the Lord’s Prayer. This podcast, from the September 1st worship service at KCRC, wonders about where temptation comes from, what it looks like, how to face it, and what the odds might be of overcoming it.

Praying With Jesus – Forgive…

Forgive…. there’s a loaded thought. Whether we are looking for it, or wondering if we can ever do it.

As part of our summer teaching series, “Praying With Jesus” we’re working through the Lord’s Prayer. This podcast, from the August 25 worship service at KCRC, examines the explosive phrase, “Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us.”
We’ll consider why to forgive, what forgiveness might look and feel like, and what it most certainly is NOT.
Hope you can track with us not only for this podcast, but for the rest of the series.

Praying With Jesus – Give us our daily bread

Welcome back to our adventure in prayer – tracking along with Jesus as he teaches us how to pray.

This podcast, from the August 18 live teaching time, deals with “Give us this day our daily bread.” Every little phrase in that request matters. And we’ll be ploughing through a bunch of Scripture, Old Testament and New, to see how God responds to the needs of his people over time.
We’ll also learn how this prayer shapes our own souls and minds – affecting the attitudes with which we face life.
We’re glad you’ve joined us. And really hope you’ll be able to travel with us for the remainder of this series on the Lord’s Prayer.
