Community News [2020-11-15 & Christmas for KLS Children]
Greetings from the KLS Team! This Christmas, we would like to send a “Christmas in a Box” to each KLS child, as we won’t be able to celebrate together at church. In this box, parents will find Advent Activity Pages to help remind children of the true meaning of Christmas, and children will find craft materials, treats and small gifts from us!
Please fill out the KLS online registration form using the link below to provide your contact information if you have not done so already, so that we can send you more details. You will be given the options of no-touch curbside pick-up at church (Dec. 4th or 5th), or have a KLS teacher drop off the box at your home (Dec. 6th to 13th). Looking forward to meeting your family from a safe distance!

Blessings, Pastor Eva
