First Presbyterian Church formed a running and walking club, the Runnin’ and Walkin’ Turnips, for all different levels of runners and walkers. The Runnin’ and Walkin’ Turnips will resume their normal schedule in the spring (due to the weather). You will need to be added to the Runnin’ Turnips e-mail distribution list to receive notification on which Greenway we will be running. If you would like to receive these emails, please contact Alyssa at alyssa@fpcknox.org or call 546-2531.
Children are welcome and encouraged to come! Don’t worry if you can only come once-a-week. There’s no commitment and you don’t need to RSVP!
This club will also help prepare and train runners and walkers for footraces. Participants can run and walk under the Runnin’ Turnips team (complete with t-shirts!) so, we’ll have fun and spread the good news of Jesus Christ in the heart of Knoxville!
If you are interested, please contact Alyssa Murray in the church office at 546-2531 or alyssa@fpcknox.org. For more information, you can check out the Runnin’ Turnips bulletin board across from the library on the 2nd floor.
***Our t-shirts are available to order! The logo, designed by Chris McAdoo, is shown on a standard, white t-shirt, but if you peruse the site, you will find all of the other color and style options. There is also a white, performance t-shirt available (best for running). If you have any questions, please call Alyssa at 546-2531 or call the TEE SPOT at 288-4052.
If you have any questions about this process or if you ever need to change this commitment, please contact Diane Gross at diane@fpcknox.org or by phone: 865-546-2531. If you would like for your financial commitment to be fulfilled in a timely fashion (a help to the church), consider the online giving option (found on the homepage). You can be assured that your offerings will continue, whether you are in or out of town.
The Manmade Breakfast (formerly the Men’s Breakfast) is usually held on the first Saturday during the school year. We’re starting breakfast later this year! We moved breakfast back to 8:30am, in order to attract more folks. You can still come at 8:00am for coffee fellowship.
This group meets for breakfast followed by a speaker from the local church-at-large or the Knoxville community. The breakfast is prepared by the Men of the Church. Come enjoy a hearty breakfast of eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, fried apples, and great fellowship. The speakers lecture on a variety of topics and are often affiliated with the University of Tennessee.
Where: Fellowship Hall for breakfast and then the James Park room for the speaker.
You don’t have to play to get your own authentic Fightin’ Turnips gear! We are taking orders for Fightin’ Turnip t-shirts, S, M, L, XL, and XXL, at $17 each. We also have a limited number of flex-fitted hats, S, M, L, XL, left at $20 each. Click on the links below to see pictures of each.
You can pre-order and pre-pay immediately online at contributions.fpcknox.org. Use the “Other” category and label the one-time contribution “Softball Shirt” or “Softball Hat”.
If you have questions ask Preston or Bryce. You can also communicate via email at bryce@fpcknox.org
Presbyterian Women (PW) is an independent organization within the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) of more than 300,000 women. The programming and resource options for the organization offer a variety of ways for women to live out their faith in an inclusive, caring community.
Purpose: Forgiven and freed by God in Jesus Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves:
