King of Peace will commemorate All Saints Day on Sunday, November 3rd. If you would like a loved one’s name to be read during the Litany of Saints, a sheet is in the narthex. There will also be a table in front of the altar where pictures of the saints close to us may be placed as part of the service.
Consecration Sunday will be Sunday, October 27th. Fr. Joshua Varner will be with us that day to lead some special music. A meal will be served following the 10 am service.
Chili Cook-Off
Do you make a great pot of chili, then KOP’s First Chili Cook-off is for you? We are looking for 4 – 8 pots of chili for October 27, Consecration Sunday Luncheon. How will the winner be crowned? Glad you asked. The congregation will be voting by quarters, dimes and dollars. Money raised will benefit youth programs. There’s a sign-up sheet on the credenza. There is also a sign-up sheet shredded cheese, cornbread, sour cream, etc.
The Sunday Evening Service will resume at 6 PM on Sunday, October 6
Women’s Fellowship Luncheon
Hi Ladies, Our next women’s Fellowship Luncheon is Tuesday October 29, 2024. at 12:00 noon. at Ship2Shore, Kingsland, Ga. in the private room we have used before.
Our host will be Sue Kenyon, and our speaker will be Katie Kenyon Sherer, Ass’t Principal at Woodbine Elementary School. Katie will offer some data about education in Camden County (student population, programs, Special Education) and about the challenges educators are facing (Standardized testing, school behaviors, role of the parents, and School Safety.)
If you have any questions please contact me, Diane at: dian429@yahoo.com or Sue Kenyon: Sekenyon@icloud.com
This will be a great day of fellowship and laughs. Looking forward to seeing everyone there.
Peace,

FALL STORIES
The KOP Storybook Mulberry Garden has been updated with a fall reading selection and theme. The storybook garden is located near the gazebo. The entire community is invited to enjoy special time with their children, relaxing with a good story book.
Our fall theme is, “Thankful Harvest”.
The following Golden Books are located in the book box:
Johnny Appleseed
I Am Thankful
Let’s Go Apple Picking
I am Going to Kindergarten
“For All Good Things, We Give Thanks”
Children and Youth Information
King of Peace currently provides two educational opportunities for children and youth…
- Children and Youth Church. This is for children from K – 12th grade. Children leave at the beginning of the sermon and return during the Passing of the Peace. Children go to the conference room and have a lesson based on the weekly bible reading. We are currently doing the one room schoolhouse model but will break into age appropriate groups as the need arises.
- KOP – YC. This is a youth group for children from K – 12th. They meet the 2nd Sunday of each month from 4:00 – 6:00. This fall we will be using “ A Child’s Guide to the Holy Eucharist” as we explore the meaning of communion. We also have times of fellowship such as bonfire with s’mores, attending a Jacksonville Icemen hockey game and Christmas caroling.
Fall meeting dates: Sept. 8, Oct. 13, Nov. 10, Dec. 8

Do you sing along to the radio or in the shower? Then the KOP Choir needs you. The choir practices on Thursday nights from 6:15 – 7:30. We review the hymns for the coming week as well as working on some anthems. We welcome new members, especially men. For more information contact Charles Babb: cfb0131@hotmail.com.
King of Peace would like to take part in the Annual Scarecrow Stroll in downtown St. Mary’s on October 20. The event chair will be responsible for seeing that scarecrows are made and transported to the designated spot downtown before the event. If interested, please see any vestry member.
Prayer Labyrinth
Starting this Monday, the prayer labyrinth in the worship space will be available on Mondays during the day. Following the 10 a.m. service each week, the chairs will be moved to allow use of the labyrinth. To enter the church on Mondays, please ring the doorbell at the red door. If there is not an answer, ring the doorbell at the day school entrance.
The Sewing Fellowship has a new name. We are now The Peaceful Threads.
We meet on Fridays from 2 to 5. No knowledge or skill necessary. You don’t even need a sewing machine.
