Is Your Faith Alive?

This Sunday at John Knox

This Sunday we welcome to the pulpit Robert Moore. The scripture reference for those of you who like to study ahead is James 2:14-26. We look forward to worshiping with you this Sunday, October 17, either in-person or online - at 9:00 am for our Traditional Service, or at 11 am for our Contemporary Service. If you wish to join us online for worship, you may do so through Facebook Live and our website. Click here to watch our streaming live services. Please note: You do not have to have a Facebook account to view our services. 

Welcoming Our New Interim Pastor

Rev. M. Elizabeth Wagner from Itasca, IL accepted our call to be our Interim Pastor. Her first day at JKPC will be October 26. We are excited that Pastor Beth will be leading us through the transition period and preparing us to call an installed pastor. Mark your calendars and plan to meet and greet Beth and her husband, Jim at a gathering on October 30 from 3-5 pm. We are hoping to be outside for coffee, cider, and Long’s donuts. If it rains, we will move into Fellowship Hall and practice social distancing. Stop by, have a treat and welcome our new Interim.

Drive Through Trunk - Or - Treat

Westview Christian Church and Iglesia Hermandad Cristiana have invited us to come back and join in the fun! They are hoping for more decorated cars and participants in costumes this year! The two churches are starting to collect candy NOW! So when you are out and about, pick up a couple of bags of candy and bring it to John Knox. Lisa will collect it in her office. The churches want to have 500 bags on hand to pass out to their guests. New this year – the police department has agreed to come and direct traffic. Please mark your calendars and plan on attending this event to welcome our neighbors for Halloween!

Hat and Mitten Tree 

Winters cold and snow is just around the corner and the Hat & Mitten Tree has been erected in the hallway outside the Sanctuary, awaiting your donations of new Hats, Scarves, Mittens, and Gloves, which will be distributed to kids in need at three neighborhood elementary schools.  Donations to the tree will be accepted throughout the month of October, with October 31st being your last day to donate.  The schools and the kids greatly appreciate our gifts of warmth and love.  Thank you for giving, the Mission Team.
