Come join us for a fun, hands-on mission experience for the whole family!! This event will serve as the kick-off for our Christmas season of service. As part of our kick-off that day, we plan to collect items for our various mission partnerships and invite people to bring those items forward during both worship services that day. Following the late service, we will eat lunch together in the fellowship hall and then break into groups to serve by packing diapers for Nashville Diaper Connection or helping to create Hill Holiday gift bags for the students at HG Hill Middle School. Please RSVP to Cheryl Brown via email at cheryl@bellemeadeumc.org or by phone at 615-352-6210 and let her know you plan to attend and which mission you would like to sign up for. Don’t miss this opportunity to share a meal with your church family, listen to Christmas music, serve, and make a difference!!
