Gifts That Change Our World
by Ingrid McIntyre

Growing up in our home, summer camp at Cedar Crest was as natural as seeing our grandparents for holidays and special occasions. It’s just what we did - every summer. As we made friends through the years, we would organize across the connection to make sure we were all there on the same week. The shenanigans didn’t stop at summer camp because we also always went on the fall retreat at Beersheba with our church family. Click here to give online. Read more
H.E.R.O. Navigator Initiative

Connecting with families experiencing homelessness is a new initiative for Belmont UMC outreach. The team, led by Gretchen Napier, is collaborating with H.E.R.O of Metro Nashville Schools. This initiative will help families experiencing homelessness to access critical community services. Navigators (Belmont UMC volunteers) will assist families as they get helpful information about jobs, transportation, documents and so much more.
   On four different evenings in September and October (9/13, 9/27, 10/11, 10/25), at Buena Vista School, we’ll welcome 10-15 families. Read more
