LADIES LUNCHEON ANNOUNCEMENT

It is with joy and great anticipation that I announce our special speaker and music presenter at this year's ladies luncheon at the mission. Our special guest this year will be TAMMY TRENT, Christian recording artist, author, and women's conferences speaker. We are not only honored but are very fortunate to have Tammy come and share her awesome story with these precious ladies and to share her music that is playing all over the US and even outside the country. Her presentation is filled with a lot of energy and excitement and is surrounded by the prescence of God. Tammy is a Godly woman who is called to minister about the awesome power of God and His ability to sustain, comfort, and encourage our hearts even in a life filled with dissappointment, heartache, and sorrow. Even though Tammy speaks at Women of Faith conferences all over the country where 1000's of women are present, she is very excited about coming to speak at our luncheon with our 110 ladies in a very initimate setting.

This is one luncheon that I wish we could have everyone to attend. However, due to our space limitations, we have to limit the event to 110 women, plus about 30 volunteeers, and about 8 massage therapists. Yes, I said massage therapists!! All that attend will receive a FREE massage if so desired. In addition, we will have some other music that will flat blow you away! We are EXCITED about this event and can't wait til Thursday, May 20, from 11am until 1:30pm.

For those that are interested in volunteering, please give me a call at 310-8463 to see if any slots still remain open. If you can't come, we certainly still need your support. It will cost approximately $3300 to have the event, which equals to about $30 per lady. We need you to sponsor any number of ladies you can. We want this event to be the best ever so we try really hard to provide the best atmosphere, food, entertainment, and message. We would need the donation by April 15. Of course, the contribution is tax deductible. Make your check payable to Music City Mission. Send to P.O. Box 110913, Nashville, TN 37211. All of us can pray that God will manifest Himself thru Tammy and hearts will be opened to receive a life changing message thru the messenger! Our goal is not only to show these hurting women a good time but also to provide them encouragement, hope, and purpose. It will take a lot of us to make this happen so please help us make it happen.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please give me call!!!

Blessings to All,

Jack Myers

CHRISTMAS PARTY FOR KIDS THANK YOU

2009-12-20T21:12:00.000-08:00

I want to send a THANK YOU for all of those that contributed to our 2009 Christmas Party for Kids. It was a tremendous success as we served over 300 children and 125 families with gifts and food bags!

We had the most awesome volunteers this year! Gifts came from everywhere and monies came in to make it all possible. Big Idea Entertainment provided "Bob" and "Larry" for us and they were great! Tanya Marks, Children's Pastor from Columbia Grace Church of the Nazarene, presented the Biblical Christmas story in a most awesome way. EVERYBODY had a great time and, yes, the Jolly Ole Elf himself showed up and the kids got excited. Over 300 children came, representing 125 families. The children received great gifts and each family left with a food bag!

In preparation for the event, we had 2 corporations send us volunteers to help. I must thank Nissan Corporation and Comdata Corporation for their volunteer time in preparing for the event. They put food in ziploc bags, sorted toys, placed toys in bags, cleaned up the building, and provided toys and monies for the party. I am so thankful for thier willingness to serve. Also, a girl scout troop came and decorated the building and did a tremendous job as always. It was their third year to come and do so. Thank you, Monica and your troopers!!!

MCM is truly a blessed organization to be so honored with this opportunity to meet the needs of those less fortunate. It is a privilege to serve God by serving others! God is using this mission to present the gospel message, and at the same time, meet the needs of those destressed. Let us all to faithful to God as He continually is faithful to us! Bless His Name!

Christmas Party for Kids 2008

2008-12-29T22:03:00.000-08:00

Our Christmas Party for Kids was attended by 300 children. It was an awesome party and the kids had a great time. They were entertained by Terry Hedges, a Christian magician, who did an outstanding job. Trace Marshall again came and sang for the children and did a great job. Of course, Santa made his appearance and the kids loved him. As an added bonus, we gave away 4 bicycles in a drawing and the children were excited!

We had a great group of volunteers who did an outstanding job. The support for the party was tremendous and we sincerely appreciate all the help we received. The children went home with lots of gifts and memories they will cherish. What a great way to close out the year at the mission.

May God Bless you all with a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!

Lipscomb University Serves Music City Mission

2008-08-07T21:35:00.001-07:00

During the Fall & Spring semesters of the 2007/2008 school year, two groups of students from Introduction to Sociology classes at Lipscomb Univ. led a devotional and prayer, and prepared a meal for a group of guests ranging from those experiencing homelessness to those recovering from alcohol addiction. The students not only cooked and served the food, but they sat down with the guests for a time of sharing, learning, and seeing the world from a new perspective. Many students bonded with individuals during these experiences and have kept contact with their new friends through letters, Bible studies on the phone, and even meeting up for a meal at McDonald's. These experiences were definitely eye-opening for many of the Lipscomb students who had never conversed with individuals from such diverse backgrounds. They experiended a "mission trip" just 10 minutes from their college campus!

Ladies' Luncheon - June 2008

2008-08-07T12:36:00.000-07:00

Each year around Mother's Day, we host a very special event at the MCM. We bring ladies in from various living environments; residents of Trevecca Towers Retirement Rommunity, domestic violence shelters, drug & alchol rehab programs, low-income housing, etc. We share a meal with them prepared by volunteers, bring in a special guest speaker and musician, pamper the women by showering them with gifts and bringing in massage therapists, and show them how truly beautiful they are, inside and out. Here are some photo's from this the 2008 Ladies' Luncheon, which took place in June. The special guest speaker was the Jennifer O'Neill. She truly blessed us with her message of amazing strength and faith.

2007 Christmas Party for the Kids

2008-08-07T11:46:00.000-07:00

Every Christmas we host an event in which kids from all over Middle TN come to the MCM for an afternoon of snacks, story-telling, music, a visit with Santa, and toys galore! We would not be able to do this without the help of many volunteers from all walks of life. A special guest joins us each year, and this past year we were blessed to have Buddy Jewel, the winner of the first Nashville Star singing competion, join us to share his wonderful testimony and music. So many lives were touched that day; not just the children, but everyone involved. What a wonderful blessing this day was! Allow us to share with you some photos from this past Christmas Party for the kids.

Welcome!
