Did You Know?
"Large Print" is more than just bigger font!
Take a look at these resources:
What is Large Print and Why it Matters
- serif fonts
- serifs are the little flourishes on the tips of letters
- like this in Times New Roman or this in Georgia
- monotype fonts
- each character is given the same amount of space
- like this in Courier New
- script fonts like Brush Script or Lucida Handwriting

Left align text. Leave a ragged right edge.
Leave standard spacing between characters. This is often called kerning.
Keep text in one column if possible. Ensure at least 0.5 inches between columns if you need two columns.
Set line spacing at 1.5x or 2x the font size. This is often called leading.
Leave plenty of white space, including at least 0.6-inch page margins.

The Power of Prayer
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.
With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
Ephesians 6:18 (NIV)
Prayer is an important source of support for KenCrest's mission. You can lift up the needs of those we serve and the direct service providers who support them by praying for both spiritual and physical strength as well as hope for these communities. You can also pray for wisdom and discernment for policy makers working with legislation impacting people with disabilities, children, and working families.
We appreciate any prayers you and your congregation lift up on our behalf.
