MANY WAYS TO GIVE AND SUPPORT THE MINISTRIES OF MCC KNOXVILLE

Please use your preferred method to give. We want it to be easy and convenient for you. Giving is a blessing for the giver and receiver. We thank you for your support of this church.

If you tend to give weekly, twice a month, or monthly, consider setting up a recurring gift. Set it up one time and it’s done. Recurring gifts are very helpful to the church’s cash flow.

Your options:

• Cash or check in the offering plate
• Mail a check to 7820 Redeemer Lane, Knoxville, TN 37919
• Set it up through your bank using auto bill pay. They will mail us your check.
• Donate through the website: www.MCCKnoxville.org/donate
• Text2Give number at 865-509-9980

For all online or text2give donors, you will need to set-up your account on your first use of the system. It’s fast and easy! Use the drop-down menus to choose General Fund or another fund and a one-time gift or recurring gift. Let us know if you have any difficulty. This email address is being protected from spambots.

Ash Wednesday Worship (In Person and Online)
Wednesday, February 18th at 12:30 PM Eastern
Wednesday, February 18th at 6:00 PM Eastern
Location: MCC Knoxville, Zoom, Facebook, and YouTube

There will be two Worship Services at which you can both learn about Ash Wednesday and Lent as well as receive the mark of the ashes. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent and invites us to reflection, repentance, and deeper spiritual practice. One of the practices of Lent is to fast. Some fast from food or chocolate or alcohol, however, it really calls us to go deeper, to give up a habit or an attitude that is unhealthy/unloving for us and our neighbors. By “fasting” from this thing, we make room to take up a new healthier, more loving habit/attitude. Come, begin your journey through Lent to Easter with one of our Ash Wednesday services.

For those joining in online, please have a candle available. If you happen to have palm branches from last year’s Palm Sunday observance, you could go ahead and burn part of them and grind up the ashes. Don’t have dried palm branches? No worries. A candle will work just fine.
