New Members Andrew Gifford, Misty McVay, and Michelle Tremoulis EARLY RISERS SERVICE TAKES A HIATUS Our worship planning team as decided to suspend our 8am Early Risers Service starting Sunday, December 28. It will resume on Easter, April 5. In essence the decision is to make it a seasonal service. Attendance peaked in July and August and has steadily declined in September and October. When the service began in March, an October assessment was planned. We look forward to continuing the service in April. Our worship schedule will be as follows. December 28, 2014 March 29, 2015 Morning Blend 9am Traditional Worship 11am April 5, 2015 December 20, 2015 Early Risers 8am Morning Blend 9am Traditional Worship 11am

4 P AGE 4 N OVEMBER 2014 SPECIAL ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS by John Keeny Sunday, November 16 10am in the Chapel Our church is privileged to host Charlotte Bonelli. She is the Head Archivist of the American Jewish Committee in New York. Ms Bonelli is the author of the acclaimed Exit Berlin and is in Columbus for a series of lectures and appearances at Ohio State, King Avenue, and Jewish organizations. Her visit is sponsored by the Melton Center for Jewish Studies, the Department of History at Ohio State, and King Avenue. Exit Berlin is unique in that it presents the conversation between American and German Jews in the late 1930 s and early 1940 s as the situation in Germany deteriorates. Usually the American voices are not documented. It tells the true story of a young, immigrant Jewish woman s effort to save her extended family when she has essentially no resources in America. On Sunday, November 16, at 10am, we shall hear her presentation at King Avenue on The Importance of the Family during the Holocaust. Obviously this is a special opportunity for our church. Her book will be on sale in the milling area on November 9. Also her lectures to the OSU History of the Holocaust class on Monday, November 17, at House 1 at the Gateway Theater, at 1:50-3:10pm; and at the Jewish Community Center, 1125 College Avenue at 7pm are open to the public. Visit for more details.

Twenty-three people from KAUMC joined by seven OSU students volunteering through Circle K are meeting with a total of 53 students each week. It s a great start! Reading Buddy Volunteers report that it is a highly rewarding experience. The children relish the one-on-one time and the school staff truly appreciates the community support for their work! We hope to continue to recruit additional Reading Buddies and substitute Reading Buddies throughout the year. If you are interested in becoming a Reading Buddy, contact Rev. Colleen Ogle (colleen@kingave.org) or Lois Dosky, Chair of the KAUMC-Hubbard Partnership (ldosky@att.net).
