It is too soon to tell when Irma will make landfall, but we are tracking this storm very closely and will inform everyone via Facebook and email as to the service times.  Wednesday night activities are still on for tonight! Activities that have been canceled for this weekend include Rock the Universe and Upward games.  As of right now the Men’s Breakfast is still happening.  If you have any questions, please contact the church office at 407-847-2543.  We will be making an announcement on Friday morning regarding the service times so be looking for that.  In the meantime, please make careful preparations for your family and keep safe!

Rock the Universe UPDATE

With much consideration, we are canceling our Rock the Universe trip this weekend due to Hurricane Irma and the safety of your student. After speaking with several other youth pastors, it seems to be the unanimous decision. We know that the storm is projected to hit sometime this weekend, but we just don't want to take the risk of being out and about with students with all of the possibilities of bad weather. We have been to RTU during lightning storms and Universal shuts the whole park down, concerts and rides, and we don't want you to pay for a ticket that you might not get your full value in return. Thanks for being understanding and please let James know if you have any questions. 

Upward Games UPDATE

Parents and coaches, please be advised that due to Hurricane Irma we will be postponing our games.  We plan to still have practice on Tuesday, September 12 and our first official game will be Saturday, September 16.  This will also be our Upward photo day, so please plan to bring your child 30 minutes prior to their game so that we can get individual and team photos taken.  We are excited to be able to have another practice before the games start and hope this is an advantage for your child.  Please contact Lance Spencer if you have any questions regarding this decision.  You can email him at Upwardsports@kissimmeechristianchurch.org.

Women’s Ministry Lemonade Mixer

Come and spend time on Tuesday, September 12 fellowshipping with other women and catching the vision of what the Women’s Ministry will be up to this year!  There will be a lot of different kinds of cobblers and lemonades to try.  It is free of charge and will be held in the cafe at the church.  If you have any questions please direct them to Diane Lytle, our Women’s Ministry Coordinator.

Men’s Bible Study

Gentleman, beginning on September 9th we will begin a new series at our men's fellowship breakfast entitled Play The Man.

In this series we will unveil Seven Virtues of manhood. If you get an opportunity purchase the book entitled Play The Man by Mark Batterson and read along with us as we discover what it truly means to become the man God created all of us to be.

El Boletín Informativo de la Iglesia

Celebrando la Recuperación

Te invitamos a venir y compartir del poder de sanidad de Dios todos los Viernes a las 6:30 pm.  Encontrarás que eres bienvenido(a) por otras personas que cada semana vienen a recuperarse de sus dolores, hábitos y complejos. La Iglesia  Kissimmee Christian Church se alegra de anunciar el inicio de Lugar de Celebración para Niños desde 5to grado y Lugar de Mini Celebración para las edades de 3 y 4 añitos. El Lugar de Ce-lebración  ayuda e inspira a los niños con esperanza y gozo a través de actividades divertidas y aprendiendo a descansar en Jesús. Por favor ven temprano para que tengas suficiente tiempo de llevar a tu niño a su clase y de subir para el tiempo de Adoración que brinda Celebrar la Recuperación, que comienza a las 6:30 pm. 

Estudios de Pasos a Seguir para Celebrar la Recuperacion

Celebrando la Recuperación es un ministerio donde aplicas los 8 principios bíblicos basados en las beatitudes, permitiendo que el Señor trabaje en nosotros proveyendo Su poder de sanidad. Este studio ayudará a las personas a cambiar espiritualmente trabajando con principios bíblicos. Si estás interesado en trabajar en tus heridas, hábitos y complejos, favor de firmar en la mesa de conección  para unirte a este nuevo grupo de studio. Las clases comenzarán el domingo 5 de Febrero.  Libros 1 al 4. Damas comienzan a las 9:30 en la oficina de Jim y los caballeros a las 11:00 am en el cuarto   205.

¿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
