Seeking Additional Ushers

Ushering on Sunday morning is a great  opportunity to meet and welcome members and visitors, and to be of service to Second Presbyterian. All it takes is a smiling face and a friendly attitude. You may usher as frequently or infrequently as you wish, but the schedule is usually once a month. There are also a few instructions for new ushers.  


If you are interested in contributing in this way, please contact Betsy Foster:

Rachel Penmore, Guest Preacher

Sunday, June 26th


Rachel Penmore is from Jacksonville, Florida but loves calling Tennessee home! She grew up in the Presbyterian Church, and spent every summer working at camp and conference centers. She received her B.A. in Religion and Philosophy from Queens University in Charlotte, NC and her M.Div from San Francisco Theological Seminary in San Anselmo, CA.


Rachel has served in many different ministry contexts including Yellowstone National Park, Travis Air Force Base, hospital chaplaincy, and traditional parish ministry.


She is married to John, an elementary school teacher and a member at 2nd, and they have a beautiful daughter, Faye. Rachel and her family love any chance to be out in God’s creation, hiking, climbing, kayaking and throwing the Frisbee for their dog, Frank.


Rachel feels called to live her life welcoming others into this messy beautiful journey of faith. She hopes to create spaces where we can explore how God is moving in this world, and the challenging, hopeful, and grace filled ways we are called to be Christ’s body in the world.

The GO team seeks SPC volunteers to help pack food. 

If you would like to help, please consider these opportunities:

       10 a.m. - 1 p.m.

       

Wednesday, July 20 (7 people)

Are you looking for an opportunity to serve GOD

and your fellow man?


As many of you know, the LOVE KITCHEN was started in 1984 by sisters Helen Ashe and Ellen Turner, to serve the needy by feeding GOD'S children.  While both sisters are now deceased, their legacy continues through the efforts of volunteers. The LOVE KITCHEN has no paid staff, but volunteers serve over 3,000 meals each week.


To sign up and/or ask questions, please call Tim Wright at 865-617-4025.
