December Invite Cards are now available in the foyer. They are a great tool to use to invite friends and family to our December events. We’ll have a Women’s Brunch, Petting Zoo, our Christmas Eve service, and more. Take a card or two and invite someone to join you for Christmas at Knollwood!

All are invited to join us as we share communion during the morning worship service on December 3. At Knollwood, we practice open communion for any and all who have placed their trust in Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. If you are watching online, please gather your elements and join us in communion.

There will be a special holiday collection on December 3rd and 10th in support of the food pantry at Abiding Presence Lutheran Church: flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, vegetable oil, and raisins. Please drop these items in the donation boxes outside of the Worship Center in December. Email Glenn Keller with any questions.

Scrumptious brunch fare, friendly group games, an optional cookie exchange, and a special Christmas message titled "The Gift." Ladies, if this sounds like fun, you won't want to miss this time of fellowship on Saturday, December 9th at 9:30am in the basement Gathering Room. Invite a friend!! Register using the button below. Contact Arlene Randall or Carole McNamara with any questions.

On December 10th, right after the 10:30 a.m. worship service, we will have a 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. There will also be lots of tasty cookies! If you are watching the service online locally, feel free to jet over once it ends. We would love to have you join us! Sign up below if you want to bring cookies for the Cookie Bar.

The kids in our Kids Ministry will have a chance to "shop" at our Magi's Marketplace to pick out a gift or two for someone in their family. Then they’ll wrap it and take it home for Christmas Day! We need your help to make sure the kids have lots of great gifts to choose from. Click the button below for some suggestions of both new and used items we'd like for our marketplace. We are looking for gifts in the $5 - $10 range. All donations need to be brought to the church by Sunday, December 10th. Contact Katie Conaway with any questions.

The Bible tells believers to go into all the world and share the gospel of Christ with all people (Matthew 28:19-20). We take that command seriously. Not only is the congregation of Knollwood actively involved in sharing the love of Christ with others, we support a variety of ministry organizations that share the same goal. Connection Points is one such ministry partner. Click the button below to read the latest update from Randy Newman.

We had a great time closing out November with the Cocoa Bar. Thank you to all of our volunteers who helped pull it together. Special thanks to our treat makers who provided tasty chocolate spoons and chocolate covered marshmallows.

Thank you to all of our faithful volunteers who show up year after year to make our Worship Center look special for Christmas. Everything looks amazing and we especially love the wall art! Thank you for sharing your time and talent with us.
