Online Worship will be different this week beginning November 1, 2020
There will not be a "pre-recorded" service which premieres each Sunday.
Instead, the worship service will be live-streamed at 10:30 am on Sunday mornings from the sanctuary.  Each worship service will be recorded and available as a viewable file following the service as well.

Also note the links for bulletins and online giving.   Stay well and thank you for continuing to adapt to these temporary changes as we continue to BE the church. Going to church is great. Being the church is greater. So if you are in an at-risk group or are more comfortable at this time worshiping from home, please join us with the live feed or a subsequent recording. The previously recorded videos will be available at:
​ Communications Tab: Video Worship

Holston Conference issued a call for Cleaning Kits,  Hygiene Kits 
​and monetary donations to restock for supplies which had been depleted by recent disasters (hurricanes)

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.
