This event is FREE, but donations are gladly accepted to help offset the cost of food and supplies. Suggested donation per person is $5.

Join us on Sunday, November 24 after worship in the Knox Fellowship Hall for a special mission packing event. People of all ages will be working together to assemble and pack school kits to be distributed by  Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. Our goal is to assemble 180 kits.

No experience needed, just the ability to follow directions and an attention to detail. Children are encouraged to participate, but will need to be accompanied by a parent/guardian. We will have light refreshments, and anticipate the project itself being completed by noon.

To assist in the planning of this event, please register no later than Sunday, November 17. Questions can be directed to  Jimmy McPherson. 

Join us as we Deck the Halls of John Knox for the Advent and Christmas seasons! Folks of ALL AGES are invited to help us decorate the Worship Center Building as we put up Christmas trees, hang wreaths, string lights, and more. This event wouldn’t be complete without warm drinks, tasty treats, and festive music to get us all in the holiday spirit. We hope to see you there on Sunday, November 24 from 4:00-6:00 PM.

Contact Rachel is you have any questions. 

The holidays can be a difficult season, particularly when festivities are met by deep and painful memories of loss. Grief casts long shadows. Add to this broken relationship, separation, loss, and anxiety and the shadows only grow longer.

In preparation for the coming holiday season and as a ministry of care to those who grieve and are mourning loss in all its forms, please join us for a guided contemplative Service of Long Shadows this Sunday, November 24 from 5-6pm in the Chapel.

Contact Jimmy if you have any questions.

We are doing a special over-the-top churchwide offering that will be collected between Thanksgiving and Christmas at Knox this year to support the Koutiala Hospital, which serves people in the west African nation of Mali. You can learn more about the hospital and the project by visiting:  www.koutiala-hospital.org. Kids are encouraged to participate in this year’s offering, and to facilitate this we are distributing candy tubes to collect quarters in (after you eat the candy, of course). Kids can earn quarters by offering to do odd jobs for family and friends. Tubes will then be collected on Sunday, December 22 to join other donations to be sent to the hospital.

By registering you are letting us know how many tubes to reserve for you/your family. To facilitate timely delivery of the tubes, please register by December 1, 2024.  More information about the special collection is available by contacting  Jimmy .
