FOR CANCELLATIONS DURING THE WEEK we will follow the Knox County

Schools schedule. If Knox County schools are out, then week-day and

evening activities are canceled at the church as well. If Knox County Schools

release early due to weather / road conditions evening activities at St. Mark

will be canceled.

WE WILL MAKE EVERY EFFORT NOT TO CANCEL SERVICES ON

SUNDAY. In the event a cancellation is deemed necessary, the Pastor will

seek the advice of the Lay Leader and Council Chair. We will also consider

what other churches in our immediate area are deciding. Close attention will

be given to multiple weather forecasts and traffic reports.

IF A SUNDAY CANCELLATION IS REQUIRED we will post the information

on the church website and Facebook (www.facebook.com/stmarkknox) and

send a church-wide email. We will also list church closings and cancellations

with WBIR-TV, Channel 10 (Comcast 9), WATE-TV, Channel 6 (Comcast 13),

and WVLT-TV, Channel 8 (Comcast 5).

WE WILL STRIVE to make a final decision NO LATER THAN 8:00 on Sunday

morning.

IF YOU RECEIVE WORD OF A ST. MARK CLOSING please share the

information with anyone you may know – especially those who may not have

internet / email access.

No announcement will be made and no email will be sent if we are having

Sunday services. Our default position is always that we WILL have services

on Sunday.

Regardless of whether the decision is made to cancel or continue with our

schedule, you are strongly encouraged to use your best discretion regarding

your own safety.

In the event that we do have services and you are unable to attend, please

remember that the scripture reading, sermon, and special music from our

11:00 service will be available on our website at www.stmarkknox.org(usually

within an hour of the service).
