WHAT'S COMING UP AT ST. B'S?
|
|
|
|
The St. B's Justice Ministries is excited to have offered The Nashville You Need to Know on Sunday mornings at 10 a.m. in Wallace Hall.
The series concludes this Sunday. Join your St. B's neighbors for the capstone of the series as we process together what we have learned and how we might be compelled individually and corporately to help our marginalized neighbors.
If you miss a session, you can request the video of the class from the church front office.

| We wanted to pass along an opportunity from Christ Church Cathedral.
After years of historical and spiritual work led by The Isaac Project Committee, there is a gathering at the Cathedral in the Nave for a Service of Repentance. The hope for this liturgy is to give voice to injustice, to remember that which is too easily forgotten, and to redeem, restore, and repair that which was shattered in this place.
The Rev. Stephanie Spellers will be the guest preacher for the liturgy.
Visit www.christcathedral.org for more information.

WHAT ABOUT ROOM IN THE INN?
|
|
|
|
A huge thanks to all who have already volunteered with Room in the Inn! We’re off to a great start to the 24-25 season.
If your family is in town between Christmas and New Years, we would love for you to consider volunteering as overnight hosts on December 28. College students home for break are welcome to help with this and younger children often join parents in serving in this way.
Reach out to Matt Poag (poagjam@gmail.com) with any questions about what’s involved in hosting. Sign up for this need or other open spots here.

| New Creation Care updates are coming to RITI.
These updates include practical pointers, such as setting up the bussing station for meals (with pictures), preparing lunches and breakfasts with a focus on waste reduction, utilizing existing disposable supplies at the church, and avoiding single-use plastics.
The hope is that, in addition to providing a tasty home-cooked dinner, the breakfasts and lunches offered will nourish guests while minimizing litter and landfill waste.
