Knox Knews


Today is .

To celebrate Robbie Burns Day and Chinese New Year – which both occur near the end of January – Dorothy Wong and Laura Kavanagh have organized a simple celebration. We invite you to come to Knox on Saturday, January 28th at 6:30 pm for “spring rolls and shortbread” and a little bit of fun! We will provide the spring rolls, prepare coffee/tea, and organize the fun. You are encouraged to share your best shortbread (or bring a few dollars to defray any costs) and participate with enthusiasm. Please sign up or call the office to give us an idea of numbers but show up no matter what!


PANCAKE LUNCH

Shrove Tuesday is the term used to refer to the day before Ash Wednesday. This day is also known as Pancake Day or Pancake Tuesday, because it is customary to eat pancakes on this day. In some parts of the world this day is called Mardi Gras.

On Tuesday, February 21 at 12 noon everyone is invited to a Pancake Lunch in our church hall.


ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICE

Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent and occurs forty-six days before Easter. Ash Wednesday is observed by fasting, abstinence from meat, and repentance - a day of contemplating one's transgressions. Ashes were used in ancient times, according to the Bible, to express penitence. Dusting themselves with ashes was the penitent's way of expressing sorrow for sins and faults. An ancient example of one expressing his penitence is found in Job 42:3-6. Please attend this special service on Wednesday, February 22 at 10:30 am.


LADIES VALENTINE LUNCH Please sign the sheet in the narthex if you'd like to join us on Monday, February 13th at J. J. Morgan's Restaurant - 12 noon.

PWS&D: Doing Unto Others…

Our church actively works to combat poverty and oppression all around the world through Presbyterian World Service & Development. PWS&D is the development and relief agency of the church, meaning we support long-term development programs that help marginalized people access food, clean water, health care, education opportunities and agriculture support. We provide assistance following disaster and conflict, such as the earthquake in Haiti, flooding in Pakistan and the famine in East Africa. We even respond to some of the lesser-known emergencies that rarely get picked up in the news but where the need is just as great, such as flooding in Bangladesh, earthquakes in Malawi and landslides in Uganda.
