ADVENT DEVOTIONAL

Advent Devotionals:

Our Advent Devotional will be available in digital format by Friday, December 1st on our member page. Printed copies will be available at the church beginning Sunday, December 3rd. Created by the Sanctified Art creative team, the devotional contains reflections, artwork, writing prompts, prayers, and hymns for your use during the Advent season.

 

Advent Calendars: Each day during December we will post an activity or writing prompt on our social media pages to guide you in celebrating Advent. Printed copies of these prompts will also be available in the atrium and the narthex.

PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN MEET ON

DECEMBER 12 at 10 a.m.

IN THE FELLOWSHIP HALL



All men and women of the church, both members and visitors are welcome to attend.

The December Bible study will continue to examine Jesus’ encounters with ostracized members of Palestine society. In December Jesus demonstrates his acceptance and care of a suffering leper. Luke 17:11-21. JOIN US!

2023 Poinsettias Order Form (Paper)

Order Christmas Poinsettias in Realm!


Click the button below to access the EVENT Registration form in Realm for Christmas Poinsettias. 


You can always order with the form (found in the atrium, narthex or offices) and a check but you can also order in the app!


Because you’re paying for something and need to provide details (donors and honorees), this is found in EVENTS (where you sign up and buy something) rather than GIVING (where you make deductible donations).


The only weird thing is … because it's a registration event, it will ask you "who's coming" to this event! That question is really not relevant for ordering flowers but it's a built-in part of the registration module, so I can't change it. Just check your own name, not both of you.


You’ll then have two choices:

Memorials or Honoraria (you’ll enter honoree names in the memo line)


And two mandatory questions: 

        1 - donor(s) name(s) as you wish them to appear in the bulletin (Example: ? Mark and Bonnie Smith? Bonnie & Mark Smith? Mr. & Mrs. Mark Smith?? This is totally up to you!)

2 - whether you want to take your flower(s) home after the service.


You’ll have the option to pay now (add a bank account or credit card), or to pay later (in which case you’ll want to send or bring a check or cash as in the past).

DID YOU KNOW THAT THIS LIST CHANGES MONTHLY TO REFLECT CURRENT NEEDS?


Feel free to contact Bonnie at bsmith@2ndpres.org or at 865.523.2189 if you would like to drop off items at the church.

This month (DECEMBER), the FISH Pantry is in special need of household and personal items:



  • Toothpaste
  • Deodorant
  • Dish soap
  • Shampoo
  • Bar soap
  • Women’s adult diapers sizes Small, Medium, and Extra Large


All purchases of food and other items made by our coordinating team are paid for out of a church-designated fund specific to the Fish mission. If you feel called to contribute to that fund, you can do so at any time of the year by check (Fish Fund in the memo line), the church website (click on “Give,” then “Fish” in the Fund drop-down), or Realm (click on “Giving,” then “Fish” in the Fund drop-down).


Thank you for your incredible generosity!


If you have not already pledged online through the church website, or through the Giving tab in your Realm account, or with a physical card, there is still time. Please let us know how you plan to support the ministry and mission of 2nd Presbyterian as soon as possible.

Thank you for your commitment to 2nd Presbyterian Church.

Amy Cross, Caroline Buckner, Sue Jacox,

Janis Smith, Arlys Milligan, and Brice Gilmer. 


On the Pastoral Care page of our website, we will share more specific updates regarding those on our prayer list. It will be updated frequently by the church staff.

 

Please get in touch with the Church Office with prayer concerns to be listed in the weekly email or bulletin (mvillalta@2ndpres.org, 865.523.2189)


Names remain on the prayer list for 4 weeks unless requested by the individual or a close family member of the individual to keep them on longer.
