Pastor Aaron Perry
Back to Biblical Basics: Saving

Experience & Encounter

These questions are an invitation to experience your life with God. Use them on your own or in community as you seek to follow Jesus.

  1. Saving done poorly is being a miser; saving done poorly is also being a spendthrift. What do you think of saving as a middle way?
  2. Are you more likely to be a miser or to be a spendthrift? Why do you think that is the case? What is one application point from the sermon that may help you provide a balance?
  3. The Father’s generosity is most clearly seen in the giving of the Son in Jesus Christ. As Christ has been sent, so is He sending you. Being generous may not mean you need to give more. You, yourself, are a gift to others. Your whole life—your words, your attitude, your resources—is  a generous gift from God. Do you see your life in this way? Why or why not?

Newcomer’s Reception

Have you begun attending King Street in the last six months?  We’d love to meet you! Join us for a Newcomers’ Reception on Sunday, January 18, in the Fellowship Room right after our worship services wrap up around noon.  We’ll spend about 30 minutes getting to know each other better.

 

Ladies Prayer & Fellowship Gathering

Ladies (age 16+), you’re invited to an hour of prayer and fellowship on Thursday, January 8, from 6-7:00 pm in the Middle School Room (M16). The time will include Christ-centered songs, a short exhortation to spur us in the pursuit of Christ-likeness, and prayer together in a space that fosters community and discipleship.

 

After School Program

The After School Program is looking for an additional Bible Teacher to join our team. Bible lessons are taught every Monday from 4:30–5:00 pm, and this is a meaningful opportunity to invest in the lives of our students. If you’re interested in learning more about this ministry, please contact Jeanie Helman. Our winter session resumes after the holidays on January 12.

 

Men’s Alliance Tribe

King Street Church has launched a Men’s Alliance tribe led by Justin Shirk. It’s a weekly gathering where men are strengthened through real brotherhood, biblical truth, and physical challenge. They meet each Saturday at 8:00 am behind the KSC Ministry Center for a 30 minute workout and devotional around a fire. Come build friendships, be encouraged, and take a step toward deeper spiritual growth.

 

Bible Studies for January

These series begin or resume this week.

  • Men: One at a Time — Wednesdays at 7 pm (M27): Men are invited to participate in the group, “Band of Brothers” as they start a new 7-week study on January 7. One at a Time by 
    Kyle Idleman, is a Right Now Media series: Most of us don’t want to spend our lives being time-wasters or binge-watchers. We want to be difference-makers. How do we do it? In this study, we’ll learn the Jesus way of changing the world– by loving people one at a time.
  • Women: Mark Study — Tuesdays at 10 am (M4): Just bring your Bible for this continuing study of the Gospel of Mark—lessons are provided.
  • Women: Brave & Beloved — Wednesdays at 7 pm (M28): In January we will continue this study exploring the lives of 30 women in Scripture. Discover how God wove their stories—and ours—into His redemption story.
  • Women: Thursdays at 8 am (M9): This group includes reading, discussion, sharing, and prayer. All ladies welcome. Questions? Contact Sharon: (717) 264-1140 or [email protected].

 

Night to Shine

Our celebration for people with special needs is Friday, February 13, 2026. Registration is open for guests and volunteers! We are especially in need of BUDDIES to walk alongside of our guests and help them to experience a great time! See more at thenighttoshine.com.

 

RESET

RESET is back!  Join us tomorrow night, January 5, at 6:30 pm in the Student Ministry Center. This is a place to find community for ANY “issue” that keeps you from abundant life in Christ… anxiety, depression, grief, family conflict, chemical addiction… whatever you’re dealing with, you’ll find encouragement at RESET.

  • HELP NEEDED! We are looking for someone to oversee our childcare ministry.  This person would help to schedule our volunteer workers, keep an eye on supplies, and check-in on Monday nights to make sure all is going smoothly with the kids.

 

Support OMM

Once More Ministries is a King Street-led ministry that shares the love of Jesus by providing toiletries to people in need in our community. Our next distribution is Saturday, December 13, and we are in need of donations.  We are seeing a significant increase in people attending our distributions. The need is very great!  There are two ways to help:

  • Shop our Amazon Wish List.  Choose from the selected items/quantities and Amazon can deliver the items directly to the church.
  • If you prefer to shop in-person, pick up a list of needed items, which is available at the bins in the lobbies.

 

Winter Weather

The easiest way to know if we have a cancellation is to visit our home page;  IF we have any type of cancellation, an Alert Banner will scroll across the top of the page. We share posts on Facebook and Instagram, found under “King Street Church.”  On Sundays only, you can hear a message on the church voicemail: 717-264-4651.  We also send out an email to everyone on our email list; subscribe at kingstreetchurch.com/email.

 

Prayer 

We believe that God works powerfully through prayer!  There is a table in each of our worship spaces and you’re invited to use it to take or leave a Prayer Card.  You can also submit a request to our online Prayer Wall, or text pray to (717) 401-7777.   You can take a card and pray for each other— either take the card home and pray over the request, or take one at the beginning of the service and return it before leaving.  You can also leave a card; if you have a request or praise that you’d like to share, fill out the card and leave it on the table (you do not have to provide your name).

Adult Sunday School

Sunday School classes are a place where adults can plug-in, make friends, become accountable, and share life with others. Classes serve as mini congregations that support missionaries, engage in ministries, and fellowship outside of class. We also offer Bible Studies for both men and women. See a list of adult Sunday School classes and links to the pages for men/women HERE.

 

Chronological Bible Reading Plan

We encourage everyone to read the Bible daily, and one way we support that is through our annual Bible Reading Plan. In 2026, we’ll return to the Chronological Plan with The Bible Recap videos. More than 400 people participate each year, and those already signed up will be included automatically. The plan is available in multiple formats.

If you have never participated in the plan, we encourage you to join the more than 400 people who use these readings as part of their daily devotions.  The plan is offered several ways. Those who are already signed up will be included in the new plan.

Weekend Preview Emails

Most weeks, we send out a church email called the Weekend Preview which highlights a key event, ministry, or an element of upcoming worship services.  Often the information shared in this email is not offered elsewhere.  If you would like to receive the Weekend Preview, sign up here or text keyword PREVIEW to (717) 401-7777.
