WMU is continuing in the month of November to help stock the help center pantry. We would like to open it up this month to the whole church to help stock the pantry with the holidays approaching and the expected cut to SNAP benefits.

Below is a list of items needed for the center. 

Pasta, Cereal, Canned Fruits, Canned Soups, Canned Meats, Canned Vegetables, Oats, Saltines, Crackers, Pork & Beans, Peanut Butter, Macaroni & Cheese

There is a container in the church foyer to place these items in.

As we enter this season of celebration and generosity, we have a special opportunity to share the love of Christ with those who could use some extra encouragement this Christmas.

This year, our Men’s Ministry will be putting together Christmas Blessing Boxes for the residents of the Tennessee Baptist Adult Home. There are eight residents who would be deeply blessed by our care, prayers, and generosity. In addition to the blessing boxes, we are planning to host a small Christmas party for them to enjoy fellowship, treats, and the joy of the season.

To make this happen, we need our church family to be a part of this outreach!

How can you participate?

• Donate items to include in the boxes. A list of residents & needs will be posted on the bulletin board.
• Sponsor a resident’s box or give financially toward gifts & supplies.
• Serve at the Christmas party on Thursday December 11^th from 6-7:30pm.
• Pray for the residents and for Christ’s love to be seen and felt.

Volunteers – We can not do this without YOU. We will need help setting up and tearing down, making food and snacks, and general fellowship. Wherever you are comfortable, there is a place for you to help!

Items can be dropped off in the fellowship hall until December 7th. A suggested list of items for the Blessing Boxes will be posted on the bulletin board.

Our goal is simply to love well and reflect Jesus to others—especially during a time of year that can feel lonely for many.

Let’s join together as a church family to make this Christmas meaningful for these residents in a way that shows the hope and joy we have in Christ.

Thank you for being a church that gives, serves, and loves generously!

The auction will assist our care ministry members and others that may need assistance thru the holidays. Items to include but not limited to are baked goods, crafts, Chrismas Decorations & ornaments, collector's items (knives, coins, etc.)

There will be a time of fellowship before the auction begins. Please bring finger foods, snack items, & desserts. The church will furnish the soft drinks, water & coffee.

We invite you to remember our Care Ministry Members with a Christmas card. The bags are on the table in the church foyer. Below is a list of the members to include:

Heather Cooper, Myra Cunningham, Lynn Lowery, Dot Medlin, Donna Nance, Jennie Shelton, & Chi Chi Weaver
