LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR 2021
Friday, February 12 – Sunday, February 14, 2021 #LoveYourNeighborKnox

First United Methodist Church is partnering with our "neighboring" faith communities to share a message of love the weekend of Friday, February 12th through Sunday, February 14th.  On this weekend, churches of various denominations will be sharing an uplifting, affirming message that is centered on the power of LOVE. We believe it will serve as a powerful witness to Knoxville that our diverse faith communities always have more in common than we have that divides us. This is the second year of this unique event and the organizations are hopeful the uplifting message will be even more well-received.
