Rev. Catherine Nance will soon make the transition from being Senior Pastor of 1st UMC-Maryville to being the Senior Pastor at Church Street UMC in Downtown Knoxville. In this time of social distancing and suspended activities inside the church building, the send off for Catherine and Brad will be different. On SATURDAY, JUNE 13th, we invite you to join in a send off parade for the Nances. The Send Off parade will be from 2:00 to 3:00 pm at the church. Cars will need to begin lining up at 1:30 pm that afternoon, entering the grounds at the lower end of the parking lot across from the MJHS track (and next to the Associate Pastor's Parsonage). From there you will go behind the church and then back up to the drive in front of the church where Brad and Catherine will be there for you to greet as you pass by. Volunteers will be on hand to help guide you and to help you line up for the "procession." Please do not get out of your cars. In lieu of gifts, Catherine asks that you make a charitable donation to COMPASSion Counseling either online or mail a check to 200 E. Broadway Avenue Suite 515 Maryville, TN 37804. http://1stchurch.org/parade
