The Amazing Grace Race from Octane kid's ministry in Kalkaska.

Amazing Grace Race

Last week was one of my favorite weeks that I do with the Octane kids. We did an Amazing Grace Race. It is similar to the Amazing Race show, where teams have to complete tasks. At each challenge, they received a food item to put together a Thanksgiving basket. After the baskets are compiled the teams made cards to go with the baskets.  The kids all enjoyed the game, but the best part was knowing that they were doing something How COVID has affected us

Introducing the DINO Squad

DINO Squad Looking for a way to plug in? There is a new squad at KCC. It’s called the DINO squad. DINO stands for Developing Intergenerational Nurturing Opportunities.

KCC helps out a Neighbor

Volunteers from the Kalkaska Church of Christ in partnership with Freedom Builders of Traverse City, Michigan participated in a 2:14 project on Thursday, September 7, 2023. The team installed two doors, a window, and stairs into the home. Georgia Beaver provided a delicious lunch for the workers. This is called a 2:14 Project based on the Bible verse in James that says, “What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? How COVID has affected us

Of Candy and Toothaches

Every Halloween I have to stop and ask myself whether we should, as a church, be promoting, encouraging, and participating in this holiday.  Let’s face it, when you think about Halloween the mind quickly goes to scary, witches, ghosts, and goblins.  I know it’s fun and there are many other costumes that have nothing to do with scary themes. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 9:22-23, “To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all How COVID has affected us

KCC is part of a roofing project for a local widow. She was been living in a house with a leaking roof, using buckets to catch the water when it rains.

The schedule, weather permitting, is: Thursday, October 6th at 9:00 am – Stripping existing shingles Friday, October 7th at 9:00 am – Roof Repair and Weather How COVID has affected us

Whose Team Are You On?

One of the first things you’ll learn about me is that I’m a HUGE sports fan. As a kid, baseball was my first love. I started playing basketball when I was in Junior-High, and ended up playing all through College. I learned many lessons in my years playing basketball; lessons about the game, life, and even some spiritual lessons.  I went to a Christian High School, so sports were never just about the game. My coach focused just as much How COVID has affected us

KCC to host Comedy Illusionist Tom Coverly

Tom Coverly will be sharing Sunday morning, July 18, at both the 9:00 am and 10:30 am worship hours and then again Sunday afternoon at 2:00 PM at Railroad Square. Tom Coverly, a former youth pastor for 12 years, felt the call of God on his life to travel the world using comedy magic to share the Gospel. In the first year in 2007, God exploded the door open for Tom to speak in 38 states. This show is a How COVID has affected us
Manistee Church Roof

How Great is Our God?

Monday we started on the roofing project for Manistee Church of Christ.  I was told by the recon team (Jeff Badgero) that we were going to have to strip the old shingles off.  The job then became bigger in my head.  He suggested we have a plan to start stripping shingles so that we could re-shingle on Saturday.  The project became overwhelming in my head.  I had quite a few people tell me they couldn’t get on the roof due How COVID has affected us
Community is just a Click Away

Community is Just a Click Away

If you have driven west on M-72 towards Traverse City recently, you may have seen a new billboard just after the Bill Marsh auto dealership. The billboard features a smiling family of 6 sitting at home on their couch with the words, “Community is just a click away.” The only other text on the board is a url, kccwired.com.  Pop-up on kccwired.com Those who visit the website, which is a local church, are greeted with the same photo on the home page How COVID has affected us
Kalkaska Church of Christ collects items for Woods Families

CHURCH “SALE” HELPS WOODS APARTMENT FAMILIES IN KALKASKA

The Kalkaska Community came together last week to assist the former residents of Kalkaska Woods Apartments in a big way. 16 families have been displaced due to an apartment fire. Donations were collected early in the week. Reminiscent of Moses telling the people to stop bringing their offerings to the sanctuary (Exodus 36:5,6), so many donations came in that the church had to ask people to stop giving!  The families were invited to shop freely Wednesday and Thursday for clothing, household How COVID has affected us
