This Month's Services:

February 21: Service: Our District Exec will visit with us, this time taking part in the Sunday service before meeting with our Board.

ONGOING…

COVENANT GROUP meets on first Sundays at BHK. 

Meditation: Every Friday at noon we gather for meditation instruction and practice at the KUUF Office (the  E.L. Wright Building on 41 in Hancock adjacent to Pat's Foods mall). A short reading is followed by a period of simple silent meditation. Then we talk a bit, end by 12:50, and return to our day refreshed. All are welcome!

On Potluck Sundays, if possible, bring your own eating utensils to avoid using disposable ones. Wash them at home with your next meal’s dishes. If you choose to use the reusable plastic dishes provided by the Fellowship, please wash them yourself in the kitchen to reduce the dish washing chore of the hospitality team.
