SCHOLARSHIP AVAILABLE:
Because of a generous gift from H.C. “Joe” Harned, we are able to offer the Kingwood Church of God H.C. “Joe” Harned Scholarship.
This is an annual scholarship that would be paid annually during the schooling of the recipient. This is available for a two- or four-year school. The scholarship is available to a High School Senior graduating in the current school year (2024).
If you are interested in applying for the scholarship, please contact Cheryl Pletcher for an application. Applications must be completed and returned to Cheryl by May 13, 2024. If you have any questions, you may contact Cheryl Pletcher, Dean Hay or Gerald Dumbauld.
Today is the last day to sign up for the Super Seniors trip to Compass Inn and Museum in Laughlintown on Thurs. May 30. The tour lasts about 2 hours, and includes the inn, cookhouse, forge and barn. Afterwards, we will be driving up the mountain to Jennerstown, where we will be having lunch at the Coal Miner’s Cafe. Total cost for the tour and the meal, including tips, will be $45. We will meet at the church at 8:45 am. and travel by car/church van. Please indicate your meal choice (choose from the 3 options) on the sign-up sheet. Payment is also due today. Please pay by check, made payable to Kingwood Church of God Super Seniors, and give it to Georgiann Knepper. Make your plans to join us as we travel back in time!
Also, we are very pleased to announce that our last activity for this year will feature a presentation by Don Freeburn. Don is a retired Aerospace Engineer who worked for NASA during the 1960’s and 70’s. Don worked on both the Apollo moon missions and the Space Shuttles. This special presentation will be on Friday, Nov. 15 in the evening, and will include a catered dinner. Don’t miss this “out of this world” experience!
Save the Date…
The Super Seniors will once again be holding our Strawberry Social at the Fellowship Center on Friday, June 21. Mark your calendar, and don’t miss this one!
SERMON NOTES
A Generous Life
A Generous Heart
May 12, 2024
Matt 6:19-24 19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, [a] your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are unhealthy, [b] your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
