August 30, 2026 – A REALLY BIG DAY
PLAN TO BE A PART OF IT!
Pastor Scott Ream will be bringing the morning message at both morning services, along with doing a book signing for his first two books that he recently wrote, “Still True” and “Ministry In Crisis” which will be available for purchase that day.
A photographer will be at both worship services and at Sunday School to take pictures for the HISTORY BOOK for Rally Day 2026. Our goal is to photograph 150 people – get it – 150 people for our 150th Anniversary! The pictures will appear in the History Book, and the History Book will be included in the items buried in the Time Capsule during the day on October 25, 2026!
This will also be a 5th Sunday Dinner following 10:30 worship. The church will provide meat for the lunch – please plan to bring a side dish and/or dessert to share. We will announce if this will be held in the newly remodeled church basement or at the Fellowship Center.
August 25, 2026 – Rally Day Committee Meeting in the Church Library at 7:00 p.m.
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.
- We arrange rides for folks who need one.
- We arrange for the pick-up of groceries and/or medications for those who are unable to get them.
- We send cards monthly to our Prayer Need list.
- 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.
The Jr. Church is raising funds for the Argentina Soup Kitchen. If you would like to help them with this project, please make checks payable to Kingwood Church of God, mark “Argentina Soup Kitchen” on the memo line, (cash is welcome too) and give to Hillary Whaley or Cheryl Pletcher.
Save the Date…

Whose Coat Are You Wearing?
Aug. 23, 2026
I Kings 19:19-21
19 So he departed from there and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen in front of him, and he was with the twelfth. Elijah passed by him and cast his cloak upon him.
20 And he left the oxen and ran after Elijah and said, “Let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.” And he said to him, “Go back again, for what have I done to you?”
21 And he returned from following him and took the yoke of oxen and sacrificed them and boiled their flesh with the yokes of the oxen and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he arose and went after Elijah and assisted him. (ESV)

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.
Want to know more about our church?
