Looking for a way to be more involved at1stChurchJC?
Are you interested in participating in worship or working behind the scenes to make worship a better experience for others? There are many ways for you to get involved. You can serve on the Security & Welcome Team or the Tech Team. You can be a greeter or work with our young children and babies. You can sing in the choir or lead the readings and prayers during worship. We would love to bring you on board and get you trained. If you are interested in serving in one of these ways,
contact Pastor Gary at gary.ihfe@1stchurchjc.org

Holston Conference issued a call for Cleaning Kits, Hygiene Kits and monetary donations to restock for supplies which had been depleted by recent disasters and to be ready for those in the future.

If your church plans to assemble kits, they may be delivered to the Three Rivers District Ministry Center. It is always a good idea to call ahead of time to make certain someone is in the office to accept your delivery.
