NEW THIS WEEK!

THANK YOU
A warm thank you to our Knoxville church family for last weekend’s recognition at the three worship services for my 10 years of work as Visitation Pastor.  We enjoyed visiting with you and sharing memories at the potluck Saturday night ad over cinnamon rolls on Sunday morning.   Thank you for your numerous cards with personal notes and gifts.  It has been a joy to be part of your lives through my ministry.  Edy and I are enjoying being fully retired with opportunities to spend more time on personal interests and with our family.   May God continue to bless you and our church family.  Rev. Art Hill

We want to thank our church family for the cards, prayers, and words of sympathy extended to us during the time of death of our sister and niece.   George and Doris Werts and Lela Todd
