Knights Creek Evangelical Methodist Church at 2987 Knights
Creek Road (County Road 9) will host the meals following its 11 a.m. Sunday
services which feature the music ministry team of The Acevado-Escribans, a
Venezuelan family now residing in Allegany County, along with David Peralta, a
music missionary to the church and a viola player for the Simon Bolivar
Venezuelan National Symphony Orchestra.
A dish-to-pass or dessert is welcome but not necessary.
Free music lessons also are provided weekly for children,
youth and adults after the dinner, with dinner attendees able to listen to the
practices. Children summer choir and
orchestra camps also have been scheduled in different parts of Allegany County
for six to 14-year-olds.
Pastor Carl Kemp said the new Sunday dinner initiative has
evolved over the past few months, starting with a desire to use the talents and
expertise of its Venezuelan music team, which has worked with a 900-member
children's choir and orchestra in the jungles of that country.
Dinner then was provided for music students and their
families so they could come to Knights Creek from Sunday morning services at
other churches or from home.
With food already being prepared and a recognition that many
elderly and other individuals and families can benefit from the dinner and
fellowship, extending the dinners to a community meal was a natural, the pastor
said.
Described as "The Country Church with the Heart of
Christ," Knights Creek also holds a 6 p.m. service on Sundays, a Bible
study at 6 p.m. Wednesdays, and community prayer from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. each
weekday for anyone who has concerns for which they would like to receive
prayer.
Celebrate Recovery/Celebrate Victory also is held from 7
p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturdays for adults of all ages who are struggling with any
type of hurts, hangups, habits or struggles, including common addictions, with
facilitators also being part of a team that goes into Allegany County Jail on
Tuesday nights to present Celebrate Recovery Inside to inmates.
