Missions Visit Today

We are excited to have Tio Mantulga, the Asst. Director of Cornerstone Ministries in Malawi, with us today.  Cornerstone, through its own high school campus, serves the educational needs of over 200 students in Malawi.  For the children of impoverished families, it is a challenge to complete school and open up a different future.  Cornerstone also holds summer camps for children of a wider age range and seeks to ground students and families on a foundation of Christ-centered faith.  Tio will be in the Student Ministry Center at 9:30 and 11:00 am; come to hear the inspiring work that Cornerstone is involved in!

 

Learn About Local Outreach

You’re invited to the next quarterly meeting of our Local Outreach Commission this Tuesday, November 4, at 7:00 pm, in room M29. This will be a special evening as representatives from our ministry partners join us to share powerful stories of how God is working through their ministries. It’s always an uplifting and inspiring time—come and see how God is moving in our community and beyond.

 

In Memory

Each year we take time to remember those from our King Street Church family who have gone on before us: Memorial Listing 2025

 

Night of Worship

We are excited to share in another Night of Worship — led by our students — this Wednesday, November 5, at 7:00 pm, in the Baker Center. Join us for prayer, worship, and special stations around the room.

 

Serve with the After School Program

Every Monday and Tuesday during the school year, 26 children from Ben Chambers Elementary gather at KSC for homework help, a warm meal, and friendly interaction.  We are in need of volunteers to serve with us and help the children (grades 1-5) finish their homework.  This would be from 4:45-6:00 pm on Monday or Tuesday night through April.  Contact Jeanie Helman.

 

Parents’ Night Out

Our Children’s Ministry Team would love to take care of your children so that you can enjoy a night out on Friday, November 21, from 5:30-8 pm.  We will be providing dinner and age-appropriate activities for your kids so that you can have a much-needed break.  Enjoy a date with your spouse or a night out with a friend, do some Christmas shopping, or simply go home to rest. Invitation is for all parents of our King Street kids from nursery through 5th grade. We appreciate you! To help us plan, you must register at kingstreetchurch.com/nightout.

• Serve with Parents’ Night Out! We need people to help our KidMin team to serve children (over 100!) who are coming to the Parents’ Night Out.  Helpers would come at 4:30 pm to prepare, and would clean up after the event until 8:30 pm.  Contact Heidi Roseman if you are interested. Thank you in advance for helping us to care for our parents!

 

Surviving the Holidays

If you’ve lost a loved one, the prospect of facing the holidays can be very difficult.  Surviving the Holidays is a GriefShare workshop that offers advice, encouragement, and support.  We invite you to connect with others who understand what you’re going through.  This year’s event is Sunday, November 9, from 2-4:00 pm, downstairs in room M29.  To help us plan, we request that you RSVP here or call the church office at 717-264-4651.

Operation Christmas Child

The OCC Shoebox Project is a KSC tradition!  We often pack close to 2,000 boxes at Christmas.  We have stacks of wrapped boxes in the lobbies for you to use in packing a box. Reminder: a good place to shop is the Shoebox Supply Warehouse (709 Marden Ave, Shippensburg).  The warehouse has everything that is needed to fill a box, or supplement what you’ve already purchased.  You can also choose to fill a virtual shoebox online.  See details on our OCC page .  The deadline to return your box to the lobby is Sunday, November 16.

 

Night to Shine

This event for people with special needs is on Friday, February 13, 2026. Registration for guests and volunteers will open in late-November.  Watch here for updates.

 

Prayer Ministry at KSC

• Sunday Prayer Ministry: On the first and third Sundays of each month, from 9:30–10:45 am, the Prayer Room will be open for a dedicated time of prayer. Missy Ardinger will be leading in prayer for King Street Church—lifting up our worship services, pastors, Sunday School teachers, our congregation, and also our nation and world.  Everyone is welcome to join—whether you’d like to pray aloud, share requests, or simply sit quietly in God’s presence.  Questions, reach out to Missy.
• If My People Pray Prayer Group: If My People Pray is a prayer gathering to seek the heart of God on behalf of our church, state, country, and world. It meets monthly, the first Monday of the month from 7-8:00 pm in Room M21. Wally and Lisa Black are the contacts.

 

Coming Events: Christmas

• Light in the Night: Light in the Night is a gentle, reflective gathering hosted by our RESET ministry for anyone who could use a quiet moment of peace during the holiday season. We know this time of year can hold both joy and challenge — and it’s okay to show up just as you are. Join us on Monday, December 15, at 6:30 pm in the Baker Center as we share in worship, Scripture, reflection, and meaningful moments that remind us that the light of Christ shines even in the darkest nights. We’ll have time for community with one another, a few special elements woven throughout the evening, and cookies together afterward. Come rest, breathe, and remember that hope is near.
• Watch for more!  We are planning several other Christmas opportunities.  Our Worship Team will play a musical set before the Chambersburg Christmas Parade, KidMin is hosting a Family Event, the Students will enjoy a Christmas Party, and we’ll celebrate with a Christmas Piano/Organ Concert the week before Christmas.   Watch here for updates!

 

RESET

Our healing ministry meets on Monday nights at 6:00 pm in the Student Ministry Center. This is a place to find community for ANY “issue” that keep you from abundant life in Christ… anxiety, depression, grief, interpersonal struggles, chemical addiction… whatever you’re dealing with, you’ll find encouragement and understanding at RESET.

While those who attend the groups may be of different ages, backgrounds, and dealing with different challenges, we have found that a rare closeness has grown around the time of confidential sharing. See more about Reset HERE.

• 6:00 pm: Light meal and community.
• 6:30 pm: Large Group:  worship, prayer, and either a testimony or a message.
• 7:00 pm: Support Groups for men and women. We find that a closeness often grows around the time of confidential sharing.
• Women’s Group: This is a space to build community, share life’s challenges, and seek God’s wisdom together. It’s not too late to join; we will meet on Nov. 3, beginning with the light meal and worship at 6:00 pm, followed by our own group time at 7:00 pm. We’ll be exploring the book, Practicing the Way, by John Mark Comer.

 

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.

 

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).

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

It is important to read the Bible daily, and that is why we offer an annual Bible Reading Plan.  We are excited about revisiting the Chronological Bible Reading Plan for 2025.  Each day’s reading will be supplemented by insightful videos provided by “The Bible Recap.” Some of our staff have used these materials and have found them to be a valuable resource.

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.

• Receive daily EMAILS of that day’s Scripture: Sign up at bible.kingstreetchurch.com
