Family Meeting October 19th
Family Meeting, October 19th, at 5:00pm at church. In preparation for the meeting…
Voting for Deacons
Reminder: The elders have reviewed all recommendations and spoken with the nominees to determine their interest and availability. The result is that we are recommending the following deacon candidates: Nate Askren, John Boggan, Nathan Farquharson, Jon Grindell, Paul Johnson, Michael McFall, Jonathan Perelman, Zane Roper, and Matt Smith.
We are grateful for each candidate and glad to nominate them for service at Immanuel. We trust they will be a great help to everyone as they work to provide for the practical needs of our members.
We invite you now to pray about these candidates and to join us at our next Family Meeting, October 19th, where we will vote for their reception.
As always, if you have questions, do not hesitate to reach out.
Become a Member
We believe joining a local church is a vital help to our spiritual growth. When we plant roots in a church community, we reap a harvest of encouragement, love, and accountability. And together, we can accomplish more than apart.
Next steps: If you would like to partner with us through membership, we invite you to visit iknox.org/membership, which will explain the process. We will be receiving new members at the next Family Meeting, October 19th.
We’re Doing a Christmas Eve Play!
The scene is set as Matthew and John are discussing the birth of Jesus, each wondering how best to capture the wonder of Christ. In the Christmas Messiah, they come together at Bethlehem with the rest of us to hear the prophecies of the coming Messiah.
Character Needs
Speaking Parts: John the disciple, Matthew the disciple, and The Word [off stage narrator].
Other characters with no lines: Mary & Joseph, the Angel of the Lord, shepherds [2 needed], and wise men.
There will be three rehearsals. The play will be presented as part of the Christmas Eve service.
If you are interested, please contact Robert Warren (865-806-8858 or rahwarren@gmail.com).

The Christian life is better together! Community Groups connect you with other believers for the purpose of encouragement and growth in your life and faith. Groups typically gather weekly to pray, study the Bible, and support one another. These groups meet at the church or in area homes and consist of 8-14 people.
