  • Mail a cheque to Knox: We are still operating our office and can accept payments through the mail.
     What is PAR?  (Pre-Authorized Remittance)
If you have automatic withdrawals from your bank account to pay your bills,taxes, cable TV, or mortgage, then you already understand the PAR principle. Besides being convenient, using PAR for your offering ensures regular monthly givings to help our church's ministry even when you are away. You will be providing your congregation a dependable flow of contributions, which increases our overall financial stability. We have many Knox members who chose this option.
     Why not participate in PAR?
Current PAR participants can easily increase their monthly commitment by contacting the envelope secretary, David Moore, at 902-864-0447. 

Many thanks to everyone who has been able to continue to support our ministry during this uncertain time.
