THIS WEEK'S ANNOUNCEMENT HIGHLIGHTS:

KOG Picnic Sunday, August 24, Noon to 4:00 p.m. Join us for wonderful family fun and fellowship at our annual KOG picnic. Rain or shine, we’ll gather to share some good times and great food. There will be Bozo Buckets, Sack Races, a Balloon Toss, a Cake Walk and more! The Board of Assimilation will provide the meat (beef ‘n dogs), but please bring a dish to pass; a sign-up sheet is in the narthex. Your entrance ticket is a cake for the cake walk (pies, cookies, muffins or doughnuts are fine, too). Please make sure the cake walk goodie is on a non-returnable plate ‘cause you ain’t gonna see it again! We'll see you on the 24th!

Blood Drive: There is currently still a shortage of blood donations in the Elgin area. As a result, KOG is pleased to announce that Lifesource bloodmobile will be here on Sunday, Aug. 24 from 9-3 to take donations. If you are eligible, please consider giving the gift of life.

The Refuge is here! It is held at KOG every Monday night at 7:00. Come Monday night and check it out! Come also and enjoy coffee, drinks, snacks and fellowship at 6:30 prior to worship. This is a brand new way of connecting with God and His Word, and replaces our Saturday evening service. So, if you have to be away for the weekend, or just want to return on Mondays to experience a completely different topic on God's direction for your life, please try The Refuge! And while you're at it, invite a friend or two to join you!

A number of members for KOG will be attending the rally that day.
