At least two downtown Knoxville churches are holding prayer services in advance of a Saturday white supremacist rally and counter-protest around a Confederate memorial monument in the Fort Sanders neighborhood.

Redeemer Church of Knoxville, 1642 Highland Ave., will host an 11:30 a.m. Saturday prayer service. The church is located off 17th Street in the Fort Sanders neighborhood. Redeemer is a member of the Presbyterian Church of America. Lead pastor the Rev. Shawn Slate will lead the prayer service that is also in response to the Saturday rally.

In addition, the Tyson House Episcopal/Lutheran Campus Ministry at the University of Tennessee hosts an 11 a.m. communion service. Tyson also will be open for a prayer service hourly until 5 p.m. Saturday. Its doors will be open to the public through the day.

Three other groups are hosting a 1-2 p.m. Saturday Knoxville Kindness Rally in Krutch Park Extension in downtown Knoxville.

So proud of my old stomping grounds now; Knoxville is my hometown.
