Thanking my God for You!

Paul said in Philippians 1:3-5, "I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now."  

Paul begins many of his New Testament epistles with this attitude of joyful thankfulness. Gratitude goes a long way. To show we appreciate one another is so easy to do, yet is often neglected. Here's a list of those who deserve thanks and appreciation at KCC.

  • Cleaning & Upkeep Teams - These volunteers work behind the scenes when others are absent. They wash windows, vacuum carpets, take out the trash, mop floors, clean toilets, mow grass, make repairs and much more. Thank you for keeping our "house" clean and welcoming!
  • Worship Team - Do you realize everyone who leads in worship on Sunday mornings is a volunteer?! They give of their time and talents every Wednesday evening at practice for 3 hours and then show up at 7:15 AM each Sunday morning to practice prior to leading two services in worship. Thank you to the KCC worship team! Thanks to our Sunday Secretaries, Servers, and those who prepare the Lord's Supper for us each week! 
  • Tiny Tots Ministry - Thanks to our volunteers who work with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers doing an excellent job while parents can either serve in other areas or enjoy a peaceful worship time. 
  • Family Stuff Ministry - Thanks to everyone on the Family Stuff team! This is a special group of uninhibited servants devoid of pride and concerned for nothing except sharing the love of Christ with your children. 
  • Teachers & Leaders - Thanks to our teachers who prepare, teach, and set a loving example for our children and youth both on Wednesdays and Sundays. Thanks to adult leaders both on Sunday mornings and during the week.
  • Technical Team - Thanks to the volunteers who operate the computers, soundboards, and light boards creating 21st Century "Stained Glass" windows.
  • First Impressions Team - Thanks to those with friendly faces, warm hugs, and welcoming handshakes serving with joy at KCC. 
  • Compassion Team - Thanks to those who spend time on their knees interceding for the saints and to those who make tasty meals for funerals and shut-ins. 
  • Adult Connections - Thanks to the selfless Men's Ministry volunteers, Women's Ministry volunteers, and those laboring in the library. 
As Paul said in Romans 1:8, "...I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you..." The Kalkaska Church of Christ is impacting its community with the saving message of Jesus Christ through your faithful, selfless commitment to His church. Thank you for serving the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Thanks for being the hands and feet of Jesus in serving one another at KCC!
