Tornado Relief

We are saddened by the devastation caused by the tornado last night to Nashville. There will be opportunities in the days ahead to help and volunteer your time and money to rebuild and restore hope to those affected by this tragedy.

If you'd like to bring supplies to distribute to our neighbors affected by the tornado, here is a list of items needed by the  Community Resource Center :

Trash Bags

Paper Towels

Work Gloves

Cleaning supplies/bleach

Box cutters

Personal Hygiene items (soap, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc.)

Baby Diapers

Amazon Wishlist:  https://smile.amazon.com/hz/charitylist/ls/2JWZEJF3N850G

You can drop off these items in our church office, and they will be taken to the Community Resource Center as they come in.

The Community Resource Center is Nashville's preferred method for donations at this time.

To volunteer your time, sign up with Hands On Nashville at  hon.org .

To donate money, visit the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee online at  cfmt.org .

Senior Recognition Sunday- March 29

We look forward to celebrating our high school seniors: Olivia Anderson, Emily Bechtel, Mason Blackburn, John Boyette, Bailey Dvorak, Ava Fitzgerald, Neeley Grisham, Spencer Jones, Matt Lewis, Meggie McCaleb, Ali McLain, Cara Moyers, Emily Oldham, Jack Pianta, Chase Reimer, Libbey Roumen, and William Stanfill. 

Senior Bibles will be in Wilson Hall this Sunday. Take time to sign each one so our seniors will have Bibles full of loving messages from their church family to accompany them wherever this next chapter takes them. The Bibles will be presented during worship on March 29 when we recognize our seniors.

Following the 11:00 service we will celebrate our seniors with a luncheon. How do you know this group of seniors? Did you teach them Sunday School, were you a covenant partner, have you shared a pew with them in worship? You are invited to join us for this celebration. The cost is $10 per person, $30 max. Click here to reserve your place at the table and contact Shawn Raines ( [email protected] or 615-739-8703) with any questions.

Love One Another as I Have Loved You . . .

In John 15:12, Jesus says, “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” Loving and caring for one another is not just the pastor’s role- it’s something Jesus calls us all to do! Stephen Ministry is a ministry in which people with special gifts for caring ministry can put those gifts to use in an organized way, bringing Jesus’ love and care to those who most need it.

If you or someone you know is going through a difficult time, email Stephen Leader Judi Arnold at [email protected] or one of the pastors. Stephen Ministers are ready to provide focused, confidential, one-to-one Christian care.

When you decide to no longer drive but you still want to come to worship, what do you do?  

Reach out to the RideShare Ministry.

Would you like to worship with us on Sundays and transportation is the only obstacle ?

Contact Jane Herron (615-579-7466) or Steve Lewis (615-414-0047) to learn more. 

Are you looking for a new way to respond to God’s grace?

Email [email protected] or call Jane or Steve to learn more about being

part of a team that offers a ride.
