All are welcome to participate, but it is especially important for our members to attend and vote on the business items to be presented at the meeting (provisions allowing Knollwood to take on debt from a new lender and that authorizes responsibilities for executing a timely loan finalization process).

December Invite Cards are available in the foyer in packs of 5. Please take a pack and invite your friends and family to join us at Knollwood this Christmas season! Go to knoll.org/christmas for event details.

We are so excited for Jingle Jam, our Christmas Celebration for the whole family! We need your help to make it happen! We need lots of donuts for the Donut Bar, Gingerbread houses for the family craft, and gifts for the Magi Marketplace. ALL ITEMS are due at church by November 30. Contact Katie Conaway with any questions at katie@knoll.org.

You’re invited to a Christmas Celebration for the whole family! We’ll kick off with a fun show (games, music, videos, etc.) followed by a variety of activities: Magi Marketplace, Crafts, Gingerbread Houses, a Photo Booth, Hot Cocoa, Donuts, and more! RSVP for your family, invite friends, and/or sign up to volunteer! Point of Contact: Katie Conaway (katie@knoll.org).

Come support Burke School in their annual Cocoa Dash! You can run, walk, skip, or crawl the 1 mile route and enjoy cocoa and cookies at the finish line! Raffle tickets will be for sale to win gift cards. Donations are accepted (givebacks, check and cash).

On December 7, right after the 10:30 am. worship service, we will have a Christmas-Themed Petting Zoo. This is the perfect opportunity to invite friends and family! You can feed the animals carrots, pet them, and take some great pictures. There will be a camel, a sheep, a lamb, and more. See you there!

We are having an interest meeting for parents and students on December 7 at 2:30 p.m. in the KSM room. It is strictly informational, and even if they aren’t sure about camp, they should come to the meeting. Camp will be July 13-17 this summer at Liberty University.

We need lots of cookies and waters for our Christmas Cookie Bar! If you are willing to bring 24 Christmas cookies (or any kind of cookies) or 24 waters, please sign up here.

Josh Baldwin’s “Crowns Down” is a heartfelt declaration of surrender, laying down every achievement, burden, and self-made identity before Jesus. The song centers on humility, worship, and releasing control. Its theme is simple and powerful: true freedom comes when we let go, bow low, and give Christ the glory that belongs to Him alone.

In 2026, we will read through the entire Bible together as a church family! You’ll receive a simple reading plan and our Sunday messages will connect directly to what you’re reading each week. We’ll also offer helpful classes and online articles throughout the year to guide you along the way. More details coming soon!

To help you prepare for our 2026 Bible-reading journey, we’re posting a series of short articles that introduce major themes of Scripture. This week’s article looks at Genesis 1–11 and the foundational truths these chapters lay for the rest of the Bible. Read it now at knoll.org/articles.
