For our quilt, you are invited to create your own quilt square that represents who you are. What makes you special? What do you love about our community? What are you proud of? What do you believe in? Click Read More for how to participate.
The virtual quilt will be a part of the service on Sunday.

From the Board: Vision of Ministry 2021

This year, we kept it simple. We have one goal: To nurture or connections. Our connections to each other. Our connections to our physical place. And our connections to our Middle Tennessee community. The Shared Ministries Council will be meeting this Sunday to discuss how different Teams can make this vision happen this year. For more details about this year’s vision, click Read More below.
