Fall Break Food Bags: Delivery Volunteers Needed
Thank you to everyone who has helped provide Fall Break Food Bags for local families! We now need volunteers to help deliver 32 food bags to families in Sumner County.
Of those 32 deliveries, 30 are within the Nannie Berry Elementary School district, which is just a short drive from the church. Even delivering one or two bags would be a big help in getting these meals to local families.
Deliveries need to be made October 1–4.
If you have any questions or would like to help deliver bags, please contact Heather Rountree at hrountree84@icloud.com, 931-252-4770 or Brittany May at Brittany.May@hfumc.org, 615-389-1256.

"Really Bad Girls of the Bible"
Wednesdays Starting September 9 - November 4
4:30 PM - 5:30 PM in Poe Williams
Eight of the Bible’s most notorious females strut across the pages of Really Bad Girls of the Bible with troubles that still hit home in the twenty-first century.
The Medium of En Dor crossed over to the dark side. Jael stood up to a ruthless enemy. The Adulteress was caught between a rock and a hard place. Athaliah made a bid for power that ended badly. Bathsheba captured the wandering eye of a king. Herodias made a cruel request of her husband. Tamar exchanged her widow’s weeds for a harlot’s garb. And the Bleeding Woman had a serious health issue only a great physician could handle.
