Soup-erbowl Sunday

In December I shared a need with everyone for the Smyrna/LaVergne Food Bank & it was a huge success. We had individuals, neighborhoods & business collecting goods & it made a huge impacted on their organization.

Many of you may not be aware that LifePoint has a food bank. Not only do they put together food boxes for families in need, they also pray with these families & love on them during this difficult time.

This ministry is currently experiencing increased amounts of families needing assistance due to job loss and reduced wages.

So this Sunday...before heading to the church, go through your cabinets & grab some non-perishable items to donate to this very needed cause. There will be large bins at the church entrances for drop-off.

This is a great way to make an impact on your community without a lot of effort. It's also a neat way to teach young children how to bless others. Give your child a box & let them pick out foods that they want to offer to someone in need.
