Food Needed
You could really help FBCSmyrna’s Helping Hands food closet. We are in need of non-perishable food items that we can pack into our food boxes that are distributed daily to people who are in need. Each box has a set list of items that are packed for each family. If you can help please bring the items to the church office. FBCSmyrna distributes 15-20 food boxes a week and we are not into the holiday period yet. This would make a great project for your small group or Bible study class.
Items that are needed:
- Peanut Butter
- Jelly
- Canister of Oatmeal
- Box of Stuffing
- 1 lb. box of Spaghetti
- Can or Jar of Spaghetti Sauce
- 2 cans of soup
- 2 cans of vegetables
- box of Jello
- Can of fruit
- 2 boxes of Mac & Cheese
- Box of Pop-Tarts
- 2 cans of Tuna
- 1 lb. bag of dry beans
- 1 lb. bag of Rice
We are unable to receive perishable products or meats.
Thank you Derlin for leading our food ministry for Helping Hands.
To The Depths….SOLD OUT!
Really the event isn’t sold out… we gave away all the tickets for the event.
That means we are at capacity for the Multi-Purpose Facility. You, the families of FBCSmyrna, have really done a great job of partnering with the staff to invite your friends to this I2I event. We want to make it as smooth as possible.
Here are a couple of very important things to remember about the event;
Remember this is time change weekend…fall back and hour. This could affect us in the second hour programming (10:45 am) if we forget to set our clocks back.
Please attend the time on your ticket…both hours are full.
Remember to bring your ticket with you. One ticket per family and those with tickets are allowed in first. After families with tickets are seated others will be allowed into the Multi-Purpose facility.
If you have a family coming that you invited by all means sit with that family, you are the link to the church.
Be prepared to be flexible. This is one of our Core Values as a church. If we are in need of seats so a guest can be seated please be flexible enough to offer your seat so someone who is not apart of our fellowship can take part in the event. Our church body exhibits this value wonderfully. We need to be mindful of this on Sunday.
There will not be an overflow area for this event, but we will try to create an area for Standing Room Only.
We will offer Kid’s Club for children and Creation Celebration for Preschool children whose parents are on campus for 2 (two) hours on Sunday. Invite the families that are attending for the first time to go and view the Preschool and Children’s area so they will feel comfortable with where their child is on Sundays.
Help us spread the word about Sunday and how we can make it a positive experience for everyone.
If you have questions about Sunday and the To The Depths event please call the office (615-459-3311) and speak with Allen, Brittany, or Dana.
FBCSmyrna is a wonderful place to serve and I am looking forward to what God has in store for Sunday.
Get Involved Now
The Smyrna-La Vergne Food Bank is in need of food donations. This is an agency we work closely with as a church to help with the food needs of the community. Our own Helping Hands Ministry, FBCSmyrna’s benevolence ministry, we work with outside groups like the Food Bank to minister to our community. This is a great opportunity for FBCSmyrna to bless our community in a time of need.
The Smyrna-La Vergne Food Bank saw a 30 percent increase in applications in September 2008 compared to the previous year, according to Denise Esker, director of the food bank in Smyrna. Earlier this month, 10 families applied for help for the first time in the same day. “Seventy percent of our yearly intake of food comes this time of year (because people want to give),” said Esker.
