Helping Hands Service Team

The Kingwood Helping Hands Ministry has had a remodel! We are now called the Helping Hands Service Team. This Sunday School group does several things.

  1. We arrange rides for folks who need one.
  2. We arrange for the pick-up of groceries and/or medications for those who are unable to get them.
  3. We send cards monthly to our Prayer Need list.
  4. We work on small outreach projects for our Nursing Home brothers and sisters.

We do this primarily for our church family. We will take suggestions, on a case-by-case basis, names of folks in the community, if a need should arise there. We are always willing to add anyone, church or community, to our card list.

Contact Heather Houghton for more info or needs.

Peace in a Busy World
Aug. 9, 2026

Phil. 4:4-7 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

John 14:23-27 23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. 24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.

25 “All this I have spoken while still with you. 26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

John 16:33 33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Other texts: John 14:1-7

There are Children’s bulletins on the table for children to use during Worship Service.  We have Jr. Church during both services, but children are welcome to stay with their parents during service upstairs.  Feel free to use the crayons; please return the crayons to the table at the end of service.

Nurseries

  • There is an unstaffed nursery for babies located on the same floor as the sanctuary that may be used at any time.
  • There is a staffed nursery for children up through the age of 3 during the 10:30 service, located downstairs in room 1.
  • Both nurseries have a closed-circuit TV through which you can watch the worship service.

Jr. Church (Both Worship Services)

  •  We offer a Jr. Church program during the entire Morning Worship Service downstairs in the social room for children age 3 up to and including 5th grade. – School aged kids will worship upstairs on the first Sunday of each month.  Preschool aged kids will be downstairs every Sunday.

Sunday School (9:30)

  • We have classes for children (beginning when they are old enough to walk), youth, and adults. If your child is not old enough to walk, feel free to take him/her with you to your class. For more info, please see either the Sunday School brochure or the Welcome Packet. They are located in the pew rack and on a table in the hallway.
