If you would be willing to be a helper on one of the ministry team weeks please contact the team leader for the week you would be available to help.  We would love to talk with you and answer any questions you might have.  Please pray for the KOW Ministry Team as we teach your children the Word of God.
We will pray that your home is one that radiates the love of God to your children and teaches them through your example that you truly believe that God is all-powerful, all wise, and all-loving, and when things do not go as planned that you take that opportunity to teach them that God is not surprised and has everything under His control.  Remember God always wins!
