The monthly First Friday gathering, which alternates with a
movie night, will be from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Knights Creek Church, 2987
Knights Creek Road (County Road 9).
The event is one of a number of activities the church will
be engaged in during the holidays season as it continues its extensive
community outreach, according to Pastor Carl Kemp.
On Friday, December 21, Knights Creek invites other churches
and community members to join its youth for caroling within the hamlet, meeting
at 6:45 p.m. at the Scio Memorial Library Park on State Route 19. Participants will return to the church for
hot chocolate, refreshments and games after the event.
On Christmas Day, the church will host a free Christmas
dinner following its annual 11 a.m. service, with a New Year's Eve Party
scheduled for 7 p.m. to midnight Monday, December 31.
The First Friday of the year movie on January 4, which will
include popcorn, refreshments and games for children, will be Magdalena -
Through Her Eyes, the story of Jesus as seen by Mary Magdalene. Through January 21, the church will be hosting from 9:45
a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Sundays a study on Life's Healing Choices, designed to help
people find freedom from hurts, hang-ups and habits that may even have been
ongoing for years.
The DVD/gender-specific discussion series is taught by Rick
Warren, pastor of Saddleback Church in California and author of the long-time,
best selling book, Purpose Driven Life.
From 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturdays the church hosts Celebrate
Recovery | Celebrate Victory, an ongoing support through testimonies and
lessons for individuals and youth who are struggling with all types of life
issues.
The church also offers a free weekly Community Dinner after
its 11 a.m. Sunday worship services, followed by free music lessons for
children and adults. It holds a 6 p.m.
Sunday night service, a 6 p.m. Wednesday night Bible study, and a 6:30 a.m. to
7:30 a.m. weekday community prayer gathering.
