Aloha KUMC! In his le�er
to the Philippians, the
Apostle Paul writes:
I thank my God every �me
I remember you. In all my
prayers for all of you, I
always pray with
joy because of your
partnership in the gospel
from the first day un�l
now, being confident of
this, that he who began a
good work in you will carry it on to comple�on un�l
the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:3-6).
In this my final KKP ar�cle I too want to say thank
you. I’m so grateful for the ways that you have
embraced me and my family. I’m so grateful for
your love and support. I’m so grateful for your
partnership in the gospel.
Thank you fellow KUMC staff for all that you do.
Thank you Church Council leaders for your �me and
commitment.
Thank you ministry team chairs and ministry team
members
Thank you members of SPRC, Trustees, and Finance.
Thank you Sunday school teachers and children
ministry volunteers.
Thank you preschool staff, board members and
parents.
Thank you small group leaders, hosts and members.
Thank you choir and praise team.
Thank you welcoming team.
Thank you liturgists, acolytes, and coffee stewards.
Thank you ushers, counters, and sanctuary
stewards.
Thank you to all of you who serve our local
community – through IHS, Family Promise, Summer
Fest, Beacon of Hope House, etc.
Thank you to all of you who pray and provide
congrega�onal care for those in need.
Thank you to all of you who support our partnership
and outreach in India.
Thank you to all of you who support our church
financially.
Thank you to all of you who serve in li�le ways that
go unno�ced but are seen by God.
Thank you to all of you who play your unique part in
helping us accomplish our mission of making
disciples of Jesus Christ from all genera�ons.
Thank you!
As the Apostle Paul expressed, I’m not only grateful
for you but also confident of what God can and will
do in you. God began the good work that is going on
in KUMC, and God will carry it forward. In fact, God
has more in store for KUMC than we can even
imagine. As Paul writes in Ephesians 3:20-21:
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more
than all we ask or imagine, according to his
power that is at work within us, to him be glory in
the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all
genera�ons, for ever and ever! Amen.
What can you imagine happening through KUMC?
God can do even more! Our five years together have
been just one chapter in the story that God is
wri�ng here. It’s a great story, an amazing story, and
I can’t wait to hear about what happens next.
I’m so grateful for our partnership and so hopeful
for our future.
With deep love and gra�tude,
Pastor Tim

Hi y'all, my name is Heather Holdridge, and I am so
excited to be a part of KUMC for the next three
months. I am a rising junior studying poli�cal
science at the University of North Georgia, which is a
small mountain college in Dahlonega, Georgia.
The fantas�c city of Atlanta is my hometown, where
I visit my mom, Leigh Ann, my dog, Holly, as well as my
dad, George, and his girlfriend, Nancy. My sister Haley,
24, also lives in Atlanta and my oldest sister Hannah,
25, lives with her husband Ben in Connec�cut.
My favorite things in the world are dogs, pot
s�ckers, being a weirdo with my family and friends, and
finally loving the Lord in Chris�an community.
Hello! My name is Alejandra Salemi but
everyone calls me Ale (sounds like Ally). I’m from
Bogota, Colombia but have called Orlando, Florida
home for the past couple of years. I’m a rising senior
at the University of Florida (Go Gators!) studying public
health. I love all things health and fitness, traveling the
world and good conversa�ons. Thank you for allowing
me to be a part of your ohana for the summer! So
thrilled to explore and grow my faith along the KUMC
community.
