Spring Updates

Dear Friends,

Music City Mission is entering into a busy time of year, yet much excitement is in the air too!

We have been blessed to have some wonderful groups of people come to MCM the past few weeks to volunteer and serve.  A very special thank you to Western Hills Church of Christ and their youth group who came and worked very hard on numerous projects. Also to Grace Church of the Nazarene children and all of the adults who worked so efficiently sorting rice and beans for food boxes. Concord Community Church of the Nazarene has had two groups of adults come and work tirelessly on many projects as well. We thank you all so very much for your service to MCM.

Jack Myers, Director of Special Events is geared up for our annual Ladies Luncheon which will be held May 26th, 2011. We are very excited this year to have Greg and Nicol Smith Sponberg as our special guests. Fans of  Christian Recording Artists’ “Selah” may remember Nicol as being a member of the trio and she now is a soloist and travels with her husband Greg sharing their story together.  This is one of most special events that we have at MCM and it is truly a life changing day for so many hurting women. If you are interested in volunteering or you know of a lady who needs to attend this awesome event, please contact Jack Myers at 310-8463 or jackmcmd@aol.com. We also welcome donations to help us offset the cost of the luncheon. You may donate through mail or at our site homepage just click the “donate” button. Most of all, please pray with us for this special day that women’s lives will be changed.

We have partnered with ThriftSmart and are currently having a Clothing and Household Items Drive. Between now and May 31, we are accepting donations of clothing (all sizes) and household items (cooking ware, dishes, small appliances, etc…) We have special bags available at MCM that the items can be put into. Contact us and we can get you a bag or two of three to fill and return to us. Why not get a few bags and pass them out to your friends and family to fill? This is a great way to help MCM and many, many families who are in need.

We also want to give a special thank you to our Covenant Partners who so faithfully support MCM each month. It is not too late to become a Covenant Partner. In fact, I encourage you to pray and consider partnering with MCM and make a difference in the lives of many of Nashville’s families.

It’s 6 months away, but why not mark your calendars now and start telling your friends about our 5th Annual Benefit Concert on Friday, November 11, 2011 and will be held at Goodlettsville Church of the Nazarene. This awesome night will feature Bob and Jennifer Wilkerson, McMillan and Life and The Dixie Melody Boys. We are super excited about this special night. More information will be forthcoming but make plans now to join us!

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Rj Pimentel at 559-362-5750. He’d love to talk with you and get you plugged in.

If you have any questions, concerns or if we can be of assistance, please contact us. We are here to serve and want to continue “Healing the City, One Life at a Time.” Thank you, our friends, for helping us accomplish this.

Blessings,

Jennifer Wilkerson

Director of Community Relations
