2025 February Officer Update Copy

Periodic briefings for the Kirk Congregation from our most recent Church Officers’ Meetings. Please direct any and all questions or concerns to our church office at frontdesk@kirkpca.org.

1. Church Steeple Update - You may have noticed the steeple was painted not too long ago. During the process, we discovered the steeple was deteriorating rapidly and leaking water into our sanctuary. After discussing the extent of the damage, we feel the wisest course of action is to immediately remove the steeple to prevent further problems. Whereas we do not have a plan yet to replace it, we are discussing several other options for improving and expanding our current sanctuary building. Please pray for our Annual Report Committee (ARC) as they are tasked with presenting a plan to the congregation about upgrades and expansion in the upcoming months.
2. Ruling Elder Chris Ward - Chris has been a faithful shepherd for the last three years. As the Ward family continues to grow and as his job requires more travel than it used to, Chris has made the hard decision to step down as a Ruling Elder at the Kirk. The Session reluctantly accepted his resignation on February 20th, commending him for his faithful service and looking forward to the ways he will still serve at the Kirk as a Sunday School teacher and member of the Christian Education committee. Chris, we praise God for your years of service unto the Lord!
3. New Way to Give - At the Kirk, we already have processes in place for receiving financial gifts (cash, checks, mail-ins, and even online gifts), but we have been asked to supply additional and more convenient ways to give online. Wishing to remove hindrances, we will begin this Sunday to offer a scannable QR code on the back of our bulletin as well as a link on our website where persons may give online. We hope these additional methods will serve us well and stir up our liberality to give unto the Lord.
4. Upcoming Service and Training Opportunities - We are pleased to announce that coming soon we will have an AED training class (recently purchased & installed in church office) and a church work day sometime before Easter. Please stay tuned for more information and how you can use your talents and time to help the Kirk.
5. Congregational Meeting - Lastly, please keep in prayer our big meeting to come on March 9th as we vote for our elder and deacon candidates. Our plan is to spend an extra 15 minutes or so after the Morning Service to submit and count the ballots for our three candidates: Travis Eubanks (Elder), Tommy Hacker (Deacon), & Nate Meade (Deacon). We are so thankful for the Lord’s work through His men at our church!
