Come make a fresh Christmas wreath with us! Join us this Sunday, December 1, at 11am in the Youth Room (enter via SW door). All materials will be supplied but you are welcome to bring interesting greenery from your yard, ribbon, or garden shears, along to share. In less than an hour you’ll have a beautiful wreath of fresh Northwest greens to take home!

If you have not yet RSVP’d, please email Linda or Paula to join. We hope you can celebrate the start of the Christmas season with us! 

We invite you to join us as the John Knox Community Preschool puts on a pageant to share the story of Christ’s birth and to raise funds for our Tuition Assistance Program. Our 3-year-old and Pre-K students will render a simple retelling of the Christmas story called ‘One Night in Bethlehem’.

Shows are scheduled in the sanctuary at 2:30 and 3:30 pm on Saturday, December 7th.

Donations will be collected at our event or  online. Please select “JK Preschool – A Pageant with a Purpose” for the fund to ensure it is allocated correctly.

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 .
