Ladies Luncheon 2012

 

April 2, 2012       

Dear Friends,

It is hard to believe that Music City Mission’s Annual Ladies’ Luncheon is weeks away.  This event is a special time for women coming out of domestic violence, or who are in drug and alcohol abuse programs, prostitution houses, and many other life-altering situations.

Each year we receive calls, letters and emails from numerous program directors and ladies in attendance who wish to thank MCM for restoring hope and showing love to these precious ladies.

Last year was one of our best luncheons.  We welcomed over 125 women, 60 volunteers and our special guests, Greg and Nicol Sponberg along with Sabrina Shunn.  They did an outstanding job of sharing their heartbreaking stories of loss, grief and abuse yet also testified to the hope found in Jesus Christ.  It was a tremendous day.

We’ve been hard at work on our 2012 event for several months and are so excited to share it with the ladies.  Friday, May 25, 2012, will be the date for this year’s luncheon.  In order to allow more women to attend, Grace Church of the Nazarene (2620 Pennington Bend Road, Nashville, TN) will be the site for the luncheon.  The luncheon will be from 11AM-2PM.

 Our special guest will be Angie Smith, Women of Faith speaker and author and wife of Todd Smith, founder of the Contemporary Christian group, “Selah”.  She is coming to share her incredible story.  Angie is a dynamic speaker and we are excited to have her come.  Dr. Beverly McManus will also be with us to emcee the event.  Beverly is a Christian Counselor in Franklin, TN and has a heart for women, but more importantly, she has a heart for God.

We’ll also have special music, a delicious meal, and lots of special gifts for the ladies.  We’ll also offer haircuts and massages and other surprises to make them feel special and loved.

We could not continue to have this life-changing event if it weren’t for our friends and supporters like you.  Our total budget for this event is $2000.  Would you prayerfully consider helping with this special event?    You may send your tax deductible gift to Music City Mission, 4636 Lebanon Pike #133, Hermitage, TN 37076 or online, www.musiccitymission.org by clicking “Donate”. All donations are tax deductible and you will receive a receipt at the end of the year.

No amount is too small or too large and we believe God will use this day to bring healing and hope in the Name of Jesus to 200 hurting women.

If you would like to volunteer or know of a lady who would like to attend, please contact us at 615-788-1490 or musiccity.mission@yahoo.com as soon as possible so we can sign them up.

Again, thank you, friends, for your continued faith and trust in Music City Mission. It is our desire to be the hands and feet of Jesus in everything we do. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

Blessings,
