2nd Edition articles are due this Sunday, July 20th.

West View Workday will be on Saturday, August 2. 

We plan to start work at 8:30 and finish by noon.

Volunteers are needed for different work areas:

Outdoor – Weeding and clearing beds, planting flowers, mulching, pruning, painting, etc.

Indoor – bulletin boards, library preparation, helping teachers prepare classrooms and materials, etc.

Yes, it is likely that it will be a warm day, but plenty of cold water and snacks will be available.

This is a cooperative effort by Second Pres, Westminster Pres, and Clear Defense Pest Control.

Volunteers should sign up online using Sign-Up-Genius. Click here to volunteer.  Please sign up online so that we can right-size the work crew.

NOTE! Wheelbarrows are needed! Also, outside volunteers should bring shovels, rakes, pruning tools, gardening tools, gloves, and sunscreen.

Please – no power tools other than leaf blowers and weed eaters.

Questions? Contact Leonard Bailey by phone or text at (865-207-4947).

Beginning June 1st and continuing through Labor Day, the Worship Team is asking everyone to sit in the front half of the sanctuary during worship. Since worship attendance is usually slightly lower during the summer months, we feel this is a good way to encourage togetherness and fellowship. We will be placing a sign in the sanctuary from June-August and we request everyone sit forward of that sign for our summer worship services. We understand this may be difficult at first for those of you who like to sit in the back, so please think of it as you are still sitting in the back, it’s just that the back has moved up!

We are meeting in the Barbour Room at 9:30 a.m. This class studies current events through the lens of faith using a weekly curriculum called The Wired Word.

All are invited – join us! 

West View Elementary has a new, permanent donation bin in the atrium. This new bin is for donations and will have a list of specific items currently needed for the school. This bin will work like the donation bin for FISH – the list of items needed will change as the school’s needs change. The current need list will also be published in church publications.

Currently, West View is not taking donations, due to Summer Break. A new list will be up once the Fall semester gets closer!

Helping Address

Food Insecurity in

Knox County!



We are no longer asking for specific household and personal items to be purchased and delivered to the church, and the Fish drop-off bin has been removed. However, we do need specific funding to continue this long-time mission of the church. Once per month, our dedicated Fish volunteers buy, pack, and deliver food and household/personal items to families and individuals all over Knox County who call in need. 

To positively impact food insecurity in Knox County, please consider giving directly to our church's Fish designated fund, from which all food, personal, and household item purchases are paid. To contribute, you can do so via Realm (click on "Giving," then "Fish" in the drop-down), or the church website (click on "Giving," then Fish in the drop-down), or by check ("Fish fund" in the memo line). Recurring donations would be most helpful.

If you take pictures at a church event, please send them to

Jack (jrosamond@2ndpres.org) for our newsletter and social media accounts,

so people know about the awesome things going on at 2nd Pres!
