A Huge Thank You!
Financially. we are glad to announce that we ended 2019 in the black-all because of you! In fact, the offering that came in the last week of the year was one of the largest we have had. Even with an increase of $40,000 in our budget this fiscal year over last, we ended the year with income over budget of $31,900!
God is moving among our people to realize more and more that there is joy in giving by being a good steward of the resources God has so bountifully given. As we move into 2020, may God continue to be honored by the gifts of time, talent and treasure that we give back to Him through Knollwood! Lives are being changed for His glory!

January Mission Focus-Children's Vision International, Inc. (CVII)
CVII is an international, non-profit, non-governmental organization whose purpose is to help the needy and homeless around the world. Their primary location is in Bogota, Colombia where they are currently working on completing their 5th home for abandoned and homeless children.
Founded by Jeanene Thicke-Sanderson in 1993 with a simple burden in her heart to help children in need, the program in Bogota has now grown to house, clothe, feed and love 200 + children daily.
As a church family, not only does Knollwood support CVII with occasional one-time financial gifts for special needs, but on a yearly basis we also support two specific children from the children's home in Bogota.
This past May, the children at Knollwood took time during the regular Sunday morning children's ministry to learn about these two children and then made some personal cards to send with our yearly birthday and Christmas gifts from the church.
Please continue to pray for our two sponsored children, Valeria and Andres, (pictured below) as well as all the children and staff in the CVII homes in Bogota.

This Sunday!
The Chase
We're all chasing something in life-including our students. However, what they may not realize is that when we choose to chase one thing, it often means we have to stop chasing something else. The same is true when it comes to following Jesus. In this series, we want to help students see that in order to truly chase after Him, we have to stop chasing some other things along the way.
WEEK 1: Chasing Jesus means not chasing performance.
WEEK 2: Chasing Jesus starts with a step.
WEEK 3: Chasing Jesus means sharing with them.

Inclement Weather
As we head into the winter season, please note:
If there is a need to cancel Sunday activities due to snow, a notice to that effect will be on the Knollwood website. Click on the word "ALERTS" at the top right portion of the home page. It will also be posted on our Facebook page (
@KnollwoodCC)
If we cancel, the notice will be posted as soon as we make that decision. If no cancellation notice is there, we will have services as usual. (Hopefully we will be able to make that decision by Saturday evening).
During the week, the church follows the Fairfax County Public School lead. If the schools close, then any regularly scheduled meetings, Bible studies, etc. will be cancelled.
