through the lens of faith that is emailed ahead of time to the group each Thursday. The Daily News
and Good News is scheduled at 10:30 a.m., which allows participants to worship at 9:00 and enjoy
fellowship in the coffee hour before gathering together in the Upper Room. New topics each week
make this a great choice to participate in as your busy summer schedule allows. If you’d like to
begin receiving the weekly email to learn of Sunday’s topic ahead of time, please email

discussing Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. Although seating is limited, all are invited. For more
information please contact Bob O’Hara at oharabob@yahoo.com or Sam Clark at

Sunday Breakfast Bible Study
Each Sunday the group meets at 8:00 a.m. in the Upper Room for a light breakfast and a preview of
the scripture for the morning sermon. As we are few in numbers, our questions and topics are
often candid and probing. All Kirk members and friends are invited. For more information,
