November is fast approaching! Don’t forget to invite your five! This Sunday, please take one 5-card pack to distribute to the five people you’re praying for and inviting in November. The back of the card shows our Chili Cook-Off, Donut Bar, and a Christmas Photo Session... all great events to invite your five people to! You may also share the link knoll.org/november.

A new Men's Bible Study begins Saturday, October 26th. Discussion on the 26th will be used to inform a decision around content and direction. Ben O'Dell will be leading the study, We have had a lot of requests for this and are excited to get this going. Email David Oakley if you have any questions. More details to come. See you there!

We are asking everyone to pray for 5 people/families who need to know the love of Jesus and then invite them to church during the month of November. If you haven’t already completed your prayer cards, grab them in the foyer on Sunday or enter your 5 online below. Turn one card in and keep the 2nd for yourself. Our church staff prays over the cards every week!

Central Union Mission recently opened a new food pantry in Arlington, VA. The name, MISSION: NOVA is currently providing folks in need food twice a week. They desperately need canned & non-perishable food. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, we as a congregation have a great opportunity to help those in our area. We will have several containers outside the foyer doors of the church. Hebrew 13:16 states “And don’t forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God”.  Please contact Glenn Keller with any questions at glenn.keller@hotmail.com.

Our annual cook-off is back! Let the competition begin! Please RSVP for your family so we get a good headcount for food! Then let us know if you’re bringing chili, dessert, or other items needed. Prizes will be awarded for Best Chili, Best Dessert Made by an Adult, and Best Dessert Made by a Student (Grade 12 and under). Email Mary Mendez with any questions.

Use the button below to register as a family for one slot and arrive 15 minutes early so you will be ready for your free picture.

Some of you may have seen a sign a few weeks ago as you came into church or heard someone referencing the KRUDS. Pastors Chris and David hosted a group of these KRUDS this past week to thank them for the time, effort, and expertise they share with the Knollwood Community. KRUDS is a self developed moniker that stands for the Knollwood Retired Underutilized Dudes Society. They give so much to the church and we are so thankful!

Thank you to everyone who came out for the church work day last Saturday! It was an amazing bunch of folks that churned through project after project, completing almost every item on the list. We even had a team working with Katie Conaway in the Kid's Ministry spaces that powered through all the jobs she had planned. There are too many individuals to name, but a huge THANK YOU to all that participated. You are the best!
