August 2nd Edition

Compassionate Cuisine

Wednesday, August 17th

2:00 p.m.


The Connect and Cooking teams collaborate to create homecooked meals twice each month. Team members gather safely at the church to package them into individual portions, then distribute to some of our members who are living in their homes but who may not be getting out and about to pick up dinner or groceries.


The team would love your help in cooking and/or delivering meals!


For more information or to volunteer, please contact

Leslie Matthews: flowlilly@gmail.com or 865-765-0549.


If you like to shop, this month (August)

the FISH Pantry mission is in special need of the following household and personal items:


 * Toothpaste

 * Shampoo

 * Toilet Paper

 

Our once-a-month FISH team receives phone call requests for food and these additional items; they are then sorted, packed, and delivered to each client's household.


All donations should be newly purchased, and any quantities would be greatly appreciated.


Please contact the church office (865.523.2189 or bsmith@2ndpres.org)

if you have items you would like to drop off at the church.


PLEASE DO NOT DONATE FOOD (other than for pets).


Please also note...

Thanks to your generosity, we have plenty of the following items for now:

Liquid dish soap, bath soap, toilet paper, adult and children's diapers (other sizes) , so we do not need more of those items at this time.


Did you know? This list changes monthly to reflect current needs!

Thank you!

" Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working." James 5:16


Since shortly after 9/11, Second Pres has had a fairly extensive email prayer network (100+ email addresses) to support our church family in times of need and praise.  


1) If you’re interested in being a part of this meaningful, confidential prayer ministry, please email your name and email address to BOTH our network facilitators: Mary Nell Pruitt and Mary Farmer.


We ask participating prayer network members to keep the requests confidential unless the involved persons have asked for congregation wide prayer or it’s published publicly. 

 

2) If you have specific prayer requests you'd like us to lift up, PLEASE, please feel free to share your specific prayer request with our prayer network so we can support your needs.  


We do ask people to limit the requests to close family members or friends.  Also, please be sure you’ve cleared this with the person(s) being prayed for and you have his/her consent for it to be distributed.  


It is very important that you communicate your specific prayer/praise request to BOTH Mary Nell and Mary.


PRAYER NETWORK FACILITATORS CONTACT INFORMATION
