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!
