“Pete” Harrell (919) 266-2830
Please note: If for some reason you are not available to help
on the day that you volunteered to work, we ask that you please
don’t forget to find a replacement for yourself so there is
adequate coverage during the worship service. Also, if you
have a change in the schedule for the children’s nursery or
children’s church, please contact the monthly coordinator so
that the change can be made prior to the printing of the
worship bulletin. However, any permanent changes in the
schedule should continue to be handled by the lead
coordinator.
Thank you for all your help.
Attention KBC Parents: If you have a child participating in
children’s worship, please make sure they are picked up at the end of
the church service by a parent or adult. The children’s worship
leaders will only allow children to be picked up by a parent or adult
from the nursery, toddler, 2-3 year old, 4-5 year old, or 6-7 year old
classrooms. We love our children at KBC and want to ensure their
safety!
Thank you
