Lend a Hand at The Branch of Nashville

Join us in making a tangible difference by helping sort, stock, and pack food boxes for families at The Branch of Nashville’s food distribution center. You'll also have the chance to help distribute food directly to those in need – an incredible way to connect with our neighbors in the Antioch community.

If you speak a little Spanish or Arabic, that’s a plus – but not required. Volunteers should be comfortable lifting boxes and moving around during the shift. This is a meaningful opportunity for individuals, parents, and kids ages 10 and up to serve together.

Ready to make an impact? Click here to sign up!

Please join us this Sunday for Holy Eucharist at 9:30 a.m.

Rev. Ed will be preaching and the service will be live-streamed and available on demand for later viewing. 

Click here to see the first round of volunteer opportunities with our new partners at Head Middle School. Keep in mind, this is just the beginning – slots for the summer
and the first day of school. If you don’t see anything that draws you in, don’t worry! We
will be meeting again in August with our school liaison to plan lots of opportunities for
the first semester!

✨ Featured Opportunity: Buy a $25 Amazon gift card to give to teachers for supplies. Drop off at the church by this Sunday, July 20 – sign up now!

Stay 'n' Play

St. B's children and families had a chance to snack, fellowship and play together after church last Sunday. A BIG thank you to Sarah and Matthew as they continue to provide love, care and meaningful activities for our young ones this summer.

Recognizing that being in community is an important part of our life together at St. B's, we are making plans to launch new small groups in the fall.

So that we can best meet the needs of our people, would you take 5 minutes to fill out this survey letting us know of your general interest in small groups no later than Monday, July 30. We will plan to have formal sign-ups in September. If you have any questions about small groups or would like to talk more, please feel free to reach out to Rev. Heather.

Summer is a great time to explore how you might get involved with St. B’s Music Ministry. Whether you love to sing, want to try a seasonal choir, or are interested in playing with one of our Sunday music teams, there’s a place for you. We’re especially looking for band instrumentalists—guitar, bass, drums, and keys—but all instruments are welcome.

Curious or ready to dive in? Contact Amy Wirdzek—we’d love to help you find your place in our vibrant music community.

🎈 Mark Your Calendar! St. B's Day is Sunday, August 10 – more details to come!

🐑 Summer is the perfect time to refresh and create new materials for our Catechesis of the Good Shepherd atria, our nursery, and upcoming special events for children. We'd love your help preparing for the new Formation Year, and we have a variety of tasks for all skill levels!

Whether you enjoy cleaning, sanding, staining, assembling furniture, hanging bulletin boards, cutting paper, laminating, sculpting, detailed painting, or calligraphy, there's a way for you to contribute.

Come enjoy refreshments and good company as we work together in Room 104 on Sunday, July 27 from 10:45 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. More dates to follow if needed.

Please click here to RSVP. We can't wait to see you there, and thanks in advance for your support!
