Knox Presbyterian Church, Alliston

Knox Presbyterian Church, Alliston At Knox Presbyterian Church, we are: growing together as a Family of Faith to worship and serve our Lord and Savior throughout our community.

SUNDAY WORSHIP, SUNDAY SCHOOL, & NURSERY
Sundays at 11:00 a.m. Our worship service combines the informal friendliness of a small town with the deep reverence of those who love the Lord Jesus Christ - an interesting combination as you will notice. As we sing praises and the great hymns of our faith, as Lay Readers read the scripture, prayers are offered and the Word of God is preached, the Spirit

of Christ speaks to our needs and God's love and power renews us. Followed by the service is our, Meet And Greet, when you are invited down to Knox Hall for a cup of tea or coffee and a time to get acquainted with one another. A Children's program is offered during our service, along with a fully equipped nursery, both organized and ran by member's of our congregation. FRIENDSHIP SUNDAY
Happens on the last Sunday of each month with a friendly meal directly after worship. You are welcomed and encouraged to attend. KNOX CHOIR
Thursday evenings from 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Meets each Thursday evening in Knox Sanctuary. New members are always welcome to join. Twice yearly, at Christmas & Easter, Knox Choir & Friends present a Cantata for this church and community. What a wonderful way to move into two vitally important church seasons. FRIENDSHIP CIRCLE
3rd Tuesday evening of each month at 7:30 p.m
This is an evening of fellowship and sharing for the women of our church. Each month there is a guest speaker or a new craft is taught.

Risen Christ, the Easter story is a reminder that nothing could contain you—no tomb, no body, no violent act. You are alive in the world, unfettered and beckoning us to follow. Lead me to the places you have called me to be. Show me where you’re headed. I want to be there, too. Amen.

Every morning the sun rises,
majestic and steady.
She is greeted
in all her strength
with the joyous cacophony of birdsong.
I like to believe
this holy chorus
is the birds telling each other—
I’m here.
We made it through the night.
You’re not alone.
What good, good news.

—excerpt from the poem “Birdsong” by Rev. Sarah A. Speed | A Sanctified Art LLC

“How can we trust resurrection when death is on the world’s throne?

Because Jesus knows what we will always need to be reminded of: the good news is greater than any tyrant. The good news of God is more alive than anything that tries to kill God, more alive than anything that tries to kill the imago dei in all of us. Kings come and kings go, and we may tremble still—but God? God shakes the earth with power and might so tender and so fresh it can make a tomb bloom with new life.

Amen, alleluia.”

—Rev. Lizzie McManus-Dail (.mcmizzie), from her commentary on Matthew 28:1-10 | A Sanctified Art LLC

Happy Easter for all of us at Knox!

“The good news is alive in the world. Do not be afraid. Go back to Galilee. Go back to Galilee where it all started. Go back to Galilee and celebrate like we did at the beginning when we were not afraid, when these words of liberation had not yet drawn the trappings of imperial ex*****on.

Here in this artwork, the crowd is celebrating. Figures are dancing and dancing and dancing. Doves fly among the dancers, breaking borders, Holy Spirit. This throng is in the vacant space of the empty cross.… Around the dancing figures in Galilee, patterns of doves disperse outward. The good news, the euaggelion, is alive in the world.”

When we backed Jesus into a corner,
he loved and loved and loved again.
In this war-torn world,
we could do the same.
We could ground the bomber planes,
empty the gun cartridges,
unclench our fists, soften our jaws.
They say it can’t be done,
but don’t believe them.
In this war-torn world, we could try—
love and love and love again.

—excerpt from the poem “Love & Love & Love Again” by Rev. Sarah A. Speed | A Sanctified Art LLC

04/03/2026

“Judas betrays Jesus, and his emancipatory mission, with a kiss that signals to the authorities: he is the one you seek! … In the chaos of the moment, forgetting the nonviolence Jesus has modeled, his disciples ready their weapons. One even swings his sword and cuts off the ear of an arresting official. Immediately, Jesus reminds his people that they fight with words, ideas, and vision. To press the point, he touches the wounded officer and heals him. The power of God that Jesus represents shows care even for the oppressor—even as Jesus uses God’s power to overturn systems of oppression.

Dying on the cross, Jesus reinforces his message of nonviolent resistance in the most heartbreaking of ways. As the authorities crucify him for proclaiming and prosecuting the hope of liberation for all God’s people, Jesus asks God to forgive them. To the end, he fights them by loving them.

Our calling is to go and do likewise. Fight: Consistently. Defiantly. Furiously. Nonviolently. Whenever and wherever we encounter brokenness, injustice, and oppression. To do otherwise is to betray everything for which he lived and died.”

—Rev. Dr. Brian Blount, from his commentary on Luke 22:47–23:46 | A Sanctified Art LLC

You can trade in love
for a bag of coins.
And even then,
even still,
even now,
Jesus will love you enough to
wash your feet.
If you hear nothing else in the gospel,
hear this.

—excerpt from the poem “If You Hear Nothing Else, Then Hear This” by Rev. Sarah A. Speed
