“The Lord Is With Me” by Red Rocks Worship is a steady declaration of trust in God’s constant presence. It reminds us that no matter what we face, we never walk through it alone. Even in uncertainty, we can move forward with courage because God is faithful and near. It’s a song of confidence, peace, and the assurance that the Lord is always with us.

We are coming to the close of our current fiscal year which ends on September 30th. The staff, finance committee, and elders have been evaluating budget options for the coming fiscal year starting October 1st. You should have received an email with links to a letter from Bob Thomas, Elder Chair, and Chris Ayers, Treasurer and Finance Committee Chair, providing a comprehensive summary of the new budget recommendation. Within the letter, you’ll also find bios of five of our Elders to reaffirm at the meeting. Please mark your calendars for the following:

We want to help everyone at Knollwood find and be a part of a community group! It is easy to get lost in a crowd and feel lonely even though you may be surrounded by people at the service on Sunday. We want everyone to be known, cared for, and supported in a small group. In a community group, you will form relationships that will help you grow as a Christian as you learn how to live out our faith. We currently have five community groups that are ready to welcome you into their group! To find out more information about these five groups, check out our website HERE or email Carie Thomas.

We are starting a new season of The XII, the men's dicipleship ministry, starting the first week of October. The XII is a yearlong men’s discipleship journey built around three core commitments: daily Scripture reading, weekly gatherings, and monthly book reading. There will be two different groups: Sunday at 8:45 a.m. (Email Bill Jensen) and Thursday at 6:30 p.m. (Email Micah Campbell).
