The Knox Network of Christian Ministries is hosting some special Easter Events
Amy Hudson from the Knox Network of Christian Ministries shared some great news about these Easter events with The Morning Thing.
Click HERE and listen in as she shares about daily Zoom Prayers and a special online Good Friday service.
Prayer is important and you are not alone! Join KNCM in prayer today and this weekend.
Exciting news about a virtual Good Friday Service!
Good Friday commemorates the day Jesus Christ died for our sins. As humans it’s hard to think of torture, suffering and death as “good” but Christ willingly experienced all that for us! He made the ultimate sacrifice so we could have the free gift of eternal life in Him.
Join the Knox Network of Christian Ministries in celebrating God’s goodness, love and mercy on Good Friday.
You are invited to join an online Community Celebration Service THIS Friday at 7 p.m. 7 area Pastors will lead the service and be joined by the Covenant Church Worship Team.
The service will be shared online as a Zoom webinar and shared live on the Knox Network of Christian Ministries Facebook page.
An opportunity will be extended to take communion together. Please have bread or crackers and juice with you if you would like to participate. Call or Text Amy Hudson to receive the Zoom link 740-358-0964 OR email contactKNCM@gmail.com
We want the church bells to ring on Easter Sunday Morning!
To show our solidarity and unity in Christ, the Knox Network of Christian Ministries and WNZR are asking all Knox County Churches to ring your Church Bells for 2 minutes. Churches – please ring your bells on Easter Sunday at 10am.
Thanks to Scott Burgess from First Baptist Church in Mount Vernon for this great idea!
Join the Knox Network of Christian Ministires in prayer
2 Chronicles 7:14 says “if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land”.
You are invited to join a community prayer meeting on Zoom! The virtual prayer will take place Mondays through Saturdays at 10 a.m.

Happy Easter from the Knox Network of Christian Ministries and WNZR!
For our Friday Favorites this week, we share our favorite Easter traditions.
Marcy and Rachel Rinehart
Happy Easter from all of us at WNZR!
We just celebrated Easter – the holiest day of the year, the foundation of our faith, when everything in scripture is fulfilled.
So, how can we celebrate Easter throughout the year? We found some great insight from www.guideposts.org
Click HERE for the full article.
Here are a few short notes from the article. We encourage you to read the full article to dig even deeper into the scripture verses.
1. Simply Believe
Easter is about believing—even when it’s hard. It’s about letting go of our requirement for an explanation and taking God’s word at face value.
2. Seek Aliveness
Being fully alive requires active participation in life. Celebrating Easter involves pursuing our unique contribution to life and letting ourselves be inspired.
3. Spread Joy
Easter takes away our reasons to cry: Jesus is risen. Death is defeated. All sin is forgiven. We enjoy eternal life. Jesus charges Mary with the same task given to every disciple who arrives at the empty tomb: Go public. Spread joy. Spread Easter.
4. Be Open to Possibility
Easter prods us to envision possibilities that are out of our realm of understanding, trusting that God has a master plan that makes sense.
Celebrating Easter is about turning our gaze from where we think the answer lies, and getting out of the way so that miracles can happen. It’s about believing that good can come from our messes, and there is no such thing as a no-win situation.
5. Let Go of Fear
We become afraid when we don’t understand things. We classify our problems and frustrations into nice, tidy boxes. The resurrection narratives point us in another direction. In Matthew’s gospel, we hear the four words Do not be afraid twice in one paragraph.
It is difficult not to give into anxiety; however, each time we abandon our fear, we celebrate Easter.
6. Recognize Jesus in Our Lives
Finally, we celebrate Easter by becoming more aware of Jesus’ presence in our lives, like the two men on the road to Emmaus. Celebrating Easter is being cognizant on the coincidences or heart-burning moments in our lives when we feel Jesus’ presence.
By cultivating joy, letting go of fear, being open to possibilities and recognizing Jesus in our lives, we can celebrate Easter throughout the year.
