Celebrate Recovery
You're invited to come share God's healing power each Friday night at 6:30.  You will find you are welcomed by others who come each week to work through their own hurts, habits and hang-ups.  And we are happy to say that we now have a place for children, ages 3 years through 5th grade.  So what's holding you back?  Come and give it a try.  
Celebration Place—for Kids
Want to attend Celebrate Recovery, but not sure what to do with the kids?
Kissimmee Christian Church is happy to announce the start of Celebration Place for kids 5K through 5th grade and Mini Celebration Place for 3 and 4 year olds. Celebration Place helps inspire kids with hope and joy through fun and fellowship as they learn to rely on Jesus. Please come early enough so you will have time to get your child checked in safely before going upstairs for Celebrate Recovery's Worship time, which begins at 6:30.

Café Help Needed
Your help is needed to keep the Sunday morning café open.  Join the pickup team; it requires a vehicle and a willingness to go to Panera at The Loop on Saturday nights, at closing, then dropping off the donated goodies to the kitchen either Saturday night or early Sunday morning.  You would do this for one month.  If you can help, please call Glinda Cameron at 407-922-0242, or see Josh Cameron in the kitchen.

Tech Volunteers Needed
The tech team is in need of folks to run lighting and video cameras during our morning services.  These require minimal skill but have a big impact on our church!  The many volunteers behind the scenes make the Kissimmee Christian we love.  You can do this! Stop by the tech booth in the balcony to volunteer or email Dean Parker at praisebass1983@gmail.com.

Women at Rest Ministry
Women At Rest Ministry invites women from all walks of life to come learn how to trust God in the midst of their circumstances as we minister to each other, learn who our Father is and how much He loves us so we can learn to trust Him more deeply, no matter what we're facing. Our circumstances change but Gods love and faithfulness are constant. Our time together will be spent:

· Learning how to have a more intimate relationship with God
· Praying over one another
· Ministering to women who are hurting
· Encouraging and supporting each other with the truth of God's Word
· Learning how to grow deeper in their relationship with our King
· Learning how to battle more effectively through prayer
· Learning how to become empowered by His grace and rest

El Boletín Informativo de la Iglesia
                        
¿No Te Pierdas Las Bendiciones De Servir
A veces, en nuestro fervor bíblico para enfatizar que la salvación no es por obras, no somos capaces de apreciar plenamente que hemos sido salvados para hacer buenas obras (Efesios 2:10). De hecho, Dios te ha colocado en tu iglesia con el fin de que tú puedas ser edificado, de modo que puedas trabajar y servirle. Si nos permitimos seguir siendo sedentarios esto significa que estamos descuidando el mismo propósito de Dios para nuestra salvación y de otros. Al servir, sigues y te comportas como Jesús y con eso también lo glorificamos. Si usted está interesado en servir como líder de una célula, coordinador de voluntarios, equipo de bienvenido o en cualquier capacidad, por favor, marque el lado reverso de la tarjeta de asistencia y díganos en que área de servicio le gustaría participar o contáctese con Pastor Tom Martínez al 407.556.5016 o Tom.Martinez@kissimmeechristianchurch.org.

Mujeres en Quietud
Mujeres en Quietud invita a mujeres de todas las caminatas de vida a aprender a confiar en Dios en medio de sus circunstancias mientras nos ministramos las unas a las otras aprender quién es nuestro Padre y cuánto nos ama así podemos aprender a confiar en Él más profundamente, no importa lo que estemos enfrentando. Nuestras circunstancias cambian, pero el amor de Dios y su fidelidad son constantes. Durante nuestro tiempo juntas:
·        Oraremos las unas por las otras 
·        Aprenderemos a tener una relación más íntima con Dios
·        Ministraremos a mujeres que están sufriendo
·        Animaremos y apoyaremos nos las unas a las otras con la verdad de la Palabra de Dios
·        Aprenderemos a cultivar una relación más profundo con nuestro Señor
·        Aprenderemos a combatir más efectivamente a través de la oración
·        Aprenderemos cómo llegar a ser fortalecidas con Su gracia y quietud
Únase a nosotros los domingos a las 5:30, en Salón de Compañerismo. Para más información comuníquese con la oficina de la iglesia.
