Christmas Eve and Christmas Services
Though we have not yet updated our web page in general, we wanted to let anyone who follows this page know about our plans for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day services.
We are joining with Emerald Avenue UMC for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day services. Rev. Bob Bean will conduct a 4 PM Christmas Eve service, and our own Rev. Donn King will conduct an 11 PM service. Sunday morning, we will NOT meet at Lincoln Park, but rather join with Emerald Avenue at their building located at 1620 N Central St. Because of the cold weather, services may be held in their Fellowship Hall instead of the Sanctuary. Be safe, and if you can gather together for the warmth of fellowship as we celebrate God With Us.
Virtual services continue
Many people still will not feel comfortable coming to in-person worship, but we want to stay connected. So we will continue to offer our virtual services. At the moment, that means posting recordings of our in-person worship. We are exploring the possibility of streaming those services so you could view it at the same time to which you are accustomed, but that will depend on a variety of factors. We will do our best to get those recordings posted on Facebook, YouTube, SermonByPhone, and Soundcloud as soon as possible after the morning service.
Perhaps the easiest way is to dial SermonByPhone. Just call 865-205-9183 to hear the current sermon.
Supporting the church
People erroneously think the church is mainly concerned with money. That is not true. But it is true that a) we share from our abundance as part of worship and commitment, and b) the bills must still be paid whether we are meeting in the building or not. Of course, many people have been affected by job loss and increased expenses. But if you desire to support the church financially, we have three ways to do so. We are grateful for that support. Thank you!
Postal
If you would like to support the church the “old-fashioned way” via a check in the mail, you can make it out to “Lincoln Park UMC” and mail it to the following address:
Deborah Rogers
Lincoln Park UMC
PO Box 3693
Knoxville, TN 37917
PayPal
You can donate via PayPal. It does not require you to use a PayPal account, although if you do so it reduces the fees so more goes to the work of the church. You can also set up a regular gift that will automatically go to the church each month.
Bank Service
Consider making giving regular. Most of us have a “Bill Pay” service available through our personal checking accounts. Contact your bank and ask about setting up a regular gift at the first of the month, each pay period, or every week, whichever fits your circumstances best. That way, if you are traveling or otherwise have your regular schedule disrupted, you don’t have to worry about it.
Who are we?
Lincoln Park United Methodist Church was founded in 1903 in the historic Lincoln Park neighborhood of Knoxville, Tennessee. We strive to love God with our whole being and love one another unconditionally. Our motto is ‘Connect, Grow, Serve,’ reflecting our commitment to being an authentic community, worshiping God communally, and blessing our neighbors through outreach. We invite you to fellowship with us. Please note our service times, location, and ministries for ways you can become involved at Lincoln Park UMC.
In 2022 we merged with our sister church, Lynnwood United Methodist Church. We honor that connection by referring to ourselves now as Lincoln Park-Lynnwood United Methodist Church. When we update our web page, we will also update our history here to reflect the heritage of both churches.
Prayer
Prayer is a great privilege we have, and we take prayer requests seriously. If you would like us to add you to our prayer list for either a joy or a concern, one way to do that is through this convenient online request form.
