Mentors Needed for New Mentoring Program at WWMS
West Wilson Middle School (WWMS) would like to start a mentoring program after Fall Break. An informational/orientation meeting will be scheduled at the end of this month (date TBD). This will most likely be a "twice-a-month" commitment to get started. This could potentially be before or during the school day because some of the children are bus riders and may not be able to make it early or stay late after school. Please reach out to Pastor Russ or Linda Shipman if you are interested.
ENGAGE - Do you want to know where to start at MJN?
Engage is a three-week introduction to MJ Nazarene that will help you find a way to serve and get connected. Pastor Russ will be teaching a three-week Engage Class at 5 PM on Sunday October 18, October 25, and November 1. Please sign up with Pastor Russ by going to MJNAZ.ORG.
Membership - Do you want to know more about MJNaz?
Learn the theology, history, and game plan of MJNaz. Pastor Russ will be teaching a three/four-week Membership Class at 9:30 AM on Sunday October 18, October 25, November 1, and November 8. You will have the opportunity to officially join the church after taking this class. Please sign up with Pastor Russ by going to MJNAZ.ORG.
Food Outreach
Please join us in helping “the least of these” as we feed and share the Love of Jesus with our community. We now service sack lunches on the fourth Friday of each month (with the exception of November/December). The next date is October 23. The schedule for workflow is as follows:
9 AM -10 AM prep work at the church;
10 AM -12:30 PM handout lunches across the street at MJ Help Center.
Men's Group
All men are welcome to come and join us the first Saturday of each month at the Paper Mill Restaurant in Mt. Juliet from 9 AM - 10:30 AM. The next date is November 7. This is a wonderful opportunity for men to come together for good food, fellowship, and spiritual nourishment.
