September 12th - 14th
Come out and support KBC Youth Missions!
Youth will once again be manning
the Rajun’ Cajun food booth, featuring:
Red Beans & Rice, Gumbo,
Cajun dogs, Hotdogs, Chips & Soda.
If you can’t join us at the booth, stop by the
Great Hall after the 10:30 service on Sunday
for lunch. We will have food to go.
It’s not too late to sign up! Contact Jillian with questions.
In light of our long-term relationship, and in view of recent realities in our city, Rev.
Jeffery Croft and I decided it was time for another corporate worship service. We
will join together in one service (10:30) on this day and bear witness to the God
who created us all in God’s image, who saved all who call upon Jesus, and who
calls us all to work together. We will celebrate our years working together and we
will consecrate our coming work together in Hands On Kirkwood.
CHRIST whose purpose is to KINDLE with thy passion us INSPIRE
At the Dawnings retreat, we learned and practiced a way for a group of
believers to open themselves to God’s leading, a way for them to ask
together, “Lord, what would you have us to be? Lord, what would you
have us to do?” It is an intentional process for the group members to
know each other better and grow as a body. It is an answer to the prayer of every church to learn and be in God’s will.
Forgive Us Our Sins as ...
Regenerative-on going-progressive-community building—affirming—
prompts to be aware and notice what is around us-constructive and in
the end, practical and consistent with Christ’s way.
Thoughtful reflection, opening your heart and mind to allow God’s voice
and vision to be heard. Learning that sometimes the answer is not always immediate but takes time for you to get what God wants in our life
and in the life of the church. This can be done through continued prayer
and reflection.
Taking things we already do, at least know how to do, and reassembling
them in a new way. Taking time to focus on the journey rather than the
outcome.
A call to prayerful listening. Not a one-time or annual or bi-anything,
but a continual adjustment of the lense. The goal is not to get “it” just
right, but to focus on all of the elements in the frame, or shift the frame.

I heard from Laura Farrar of The Covering House
staff this week and am happy to say that Race for
Refuge 2014 was a big success! The original goal
was to have 400 participants and raise $40,000.
Per the calculations collected after the event we
had around 500 participants and raised
$40,622.75! Thanks to all the KBCers who took
part in this event and supporting such a worthwhile organization! For more information about
the work The Covering House is doing visit

Background
The International Fellowship is a collaboration of St. Louis area churches and
organizations that includes: Kirkwood Baptist, Southwest Baptist, Dayspring
Baptist, Concord Baptist, Church Net of Missouri, Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of Missouri, and the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship National. The purpose of this organization is to provide much needed support and assistance
to help international individuals and groups who have relocated to the St.
Louis area. One group the fellowship will focus on helping are the large
number of Bosnian immigrants, numbering seventy thousand plus, who have
moved into the St. Louis area. Led by Bosnian natives Sasha and Mira
Zivanov, the Fellowship seeks to provide the following volunteer assistance to
Internationals in the St. Louis area:
* Job Attainment Skills
* ESL Classes
* Citizenship Classes
* Cooking Classes
* Computer Classes * Fellowship & Bible Study
* School Aged Children’s Tutoring Program
These programs will be offered out of the Southwest Baptist Church facility
located at 6401 Scanlan Avenue in South St. Louis. Programs will be staffed
by volunteers from the supporting churches and the community.
to work in the school aged program on Saturday afternoons from 3 to 4 pm. We will be working with these students using
curriculum provided by their schools that focuses on specific academic needs.
If you are interested in volunteer tutoring please contact co-coordinators:
