Ash Wednesday Services at Kirk of Kildaire:
Lenten Book Study:
 Traditionally Lent is a time for emphasizing spiritual discipline, and the Kirk is offering an opportunity this year through a six-week study series on forgiveness, through small group meetings beginning the week of March 1st. Groups will meet at different times: during the day and in the evening, during the week and on weekends, some will meet at the Kirk, some will meet in homes. The study we will use is Learning Forgiveness, by Marjorie Thompson. It is FREE!! If you would like to participate, please email Stephanie the following information:

- When you are available (note all that apply): (Sunday after Worship, Sunday evenings, weekday mornings, weekday evenings, weekend evenings)
- Any days work particularly well?

- In addition, please note that you are with the Kirk of Holly Springs congregation so she can try to coordinate locations close to this part of the county.

KOHS March Connections Lunch and Congregational Meeting:
 Mark your calendars! Our annual St Patrick's Day potato bake sponsored by KOHS Connections is planned for March 12 after Sunday worship. The Connections team will provide potatoes and drinks but the team needs volunteers to bring potato "fixins"- sour cream, shredded cheese, butter, bacon bits (Bob Morris), broccoli, chives, and any other things you like to put on a potato. Will provide RSVP information in the next week or so.
 In addition, the KOHS Leadership Team would like to provide an update on yearly activities and plans for 2017. Come and join us!
New Church-Wide Photo Directory:
 We want YOU to be in our 2017 Kirk Family Album (ie. Photo Directory)!
DO YOU EVER see members on Sunday mornings and don’t know their names?
DO YOU EVER want to put a face to a voice that you have spoken to on the phone or contacted via email?
A CHURCH-WIDE photo directory is just what you need to help with the situations, as well as a valuable resource for all members and staff. There is no charge to be included and you will receive a complimentary 8 x 10 color portrait and a printed directory just for participating. Please go to https://booknow-lifetouch.appointment-plus.com/9z5bl074/ to sign up, as photos begin March 20. Thank you in advance for supporting this ministry of connection at the Kirk!
KOHS Missions team helping with Habitat for Humanity:
 We have a new opportunity! There is a second build that has begun on the same street in Holly Springs in February that we will support.
If you’d like more information on how to volunteer or help with our Missions activities, you can contact Mary Bethel or Mary Tucker.
Worship service Greeters needed!:
 If you have a warm smile, outgoing personality, and early to church we could use you to greet our worship goers on Sunday mornings. See Bob Morris with the Worship Team.

The note will include a list of items you can provide to help fill that need. Simply fill the bag with what you are able to provide and return it when you come to worship service the following week. Contact Mary Tucker if you have any questions jeffandmarytucker@gmail.com .
- Love in Action: Serve our community and support the Missions team by donating food for the Holly Springs Food Cupboard any Sunday or helping with the milk supply runs on Thursdays.

Sign up for Remind:
 As we continue to gather for activities in our busy schedules, we have multiple outlets for communication (newsletter, Facebook, etc…) we’d like to try a new way to quickly communicate our activities since most of us have cell phones. The Remind service is used by many educational groups to notify via text service and we’d like to try this for KOHS to make sure we get the word out quickly and to as many people as we can.

- From your phone: text @kohsnc to the number 81010
- Email: https://www.remind.com/join/kohsnc
