Thought For the Week

8 "The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
9 He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger forever;
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13 As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him'
Psalm 103:8-13

FREE Medical/Dental Clinic

On Saturday, February 27, 2021, our church will be holding our third free medical and dental clinic! This event is one of the most popular events our church holds and it is well-circulated within the Kirkland community and beyond. When we held our clinic last year in January 2020, we were able to treat 60 patients in one day with one person being baptized! This year, because of COVID19, we are taking extra precautions to ensure the safety of our patients and volunteers - one of them requiring that prospective patients make an appointment with us. This event is for evangelism so if you know of anyone who is in need of medical, dental, and/or spiritual help, please share with them our flyer and have them request an appointment with us!
Additionally, we are in need of more dentist volunteers, so if you are a dentist or know of a dentist who would like to help out, please let us know!
Furthermore, if you believe in our mission and reaching others, please consider donating to the ministry, for we are financially limited this year, so we can provide additional resources to our patients, such as lab testing and supplements!

For those who do not have access to medical/dental care,
appointment times between 8am-10am & 12:00pm-5pm

Thank you and God Bless!

• Maintain social distancing of 6 feet inside and outside of the building.

"Just Us," a new podcast from Washington Conference, launched this year to model healthy and respectful conversation about race, justice and Christianity. “Second Corinthians 7:2 gives counsel to ‘make room in your heart,’ and that is what we desire to do through this podcast,” says Bill Roberts, podcast host. “We may not always agree with each other, but we want to respect each other and move forward with understanding to bring glory to God and to help this world be a better place."The podcast originated after a pastor’s meeting in January 2019 where ministers learned how to have crucial conversations. “I asked the panel: ‘What can we do to keep growing?’” Roberts recalls. “The younger pastors said: ‘Do a podcast.’” Roberts is joined in the podcast with co-hosts Hanz Jouissance, John Brunt, and Mimi Weithers-Bruce. Each 45-60-minute episode blends history, personal experience and scripture. The pilot episode shares how the panel became involved in racial reconciliation.“It’s a difficult conversation in the church because we are all believers who are supposed to have a common ground,” admits Jouissance.“There are so many people who don’t want to change their heart. They want to keep things the way they are,” acknowledges Weithers-Bruce. “We are asking people to listen and learn.”
