You can sign up for
Wednesday Night Dinners
there as well!

Inclement Weather Policy
We believe it is in the best interest
of everyone for us to have a policy
that when snow and ice make travel
in Knoxville hazardous, we will cancel both Sunday morning services
and evening H2H groups. Instead,
we will have one service at 4:00
p.m. Travel decisions should be
made by each family and whether a
few people or a few hundred people
are able to come we will worship
together then. Also, we will do our
best to have an appropriate message on the church voice mail, on
our website, and WATE TV6 telling
about cancellations.

News & Notes
Our Food Pantry is Very Low,
& the LYF Group wants
to help fill it!
Last year our LYF group won the Superbowl Bash
challenge among area church youth groups to collect the most food for charity. They want to keep
their championship trophy! Please bring your donations to the front foyer or LYF room by January 28.
