Knox
Meet-Ups
Let’s leverage our time, talents, and treasures to love one another!

Knox Meet-Ups
Want to connect with others from Knox? Although many activities have been cancelled or modified this year, it’s still a great time for the Knox community to create some fun together. It’s been a great way of extending hospitality, building friendships and even providing an opportunity for rest. Participants have found these gatherings so refreshing that we’re now expanding this program to include the full Knox community.
Are you game? We’re looking for hosts and participants! Please see the complete the form below to signal your interest.

Testimonials from previous participants


“In a season where so many of our traditional summer activities were cancelled, it was such a treat to have a new activity to add to the, rather empty, calendar! The Srays’ Backyard Art Meetup has truly been one of our summer highlights. It was so neat to see the Sray teens’ spiritual giftings in art, science, and nature come into play and for our children to get time with one another. Given their age differences, that is something that wouldn’t happen so easily on an average Sunday morning, but with a bit of intentionality, it worked so well! And during this time that has been quite isolating for me, it was soul heartening for me to get a morning to converse with fellow sisters in Christ.” – Natalie Thompson
