Welcome Boston University Students...who will once again this year be housed at Edgefield as they serve in our community on their Alternative Spring Break (ASB). Fifteen students will be spending the week of March 7th living in the church's fellowship hall, and working each day with United Cerebral Palsy building wheelchair ramps for those in need throughout the Nashville community. This will be the seventh consecutive year that Edgefield has housed ASB students from Boston. They will be joining us for fellowship supper on Wednesday, March 10th...make sure to give them a warm Edgefield welcome!
East Nashville
Community Easter Egg Hunt is
coming up on Saturday, April 3rd, and planning is well underway. As
usual, we need your help in purchasing the thousands of hiding eggs, which we
use for our egg hunts. You can purchase them yourself, or we will accept
donations to purchase them. If you purchase them, what we need are the
individually wrapped, multi-colored candy eggs. These can typically be found at
Kroger, HG Hills, Family Dollar, and Dollar General. If
you have questions about the eggs, or would like to make a donation, please see
Misti Frazier.
Also of note:
* We will be needing volunteers to help in various aspects of the egg hunt,
please consider being a part of this great community event. You can see Misti
Frazier if you would like to help.
* Please begin inviting kids that you know to this year's hunt. We will have
promotional materials available soon that you can distribute to family, friends
and neighbors.

Sunday School Literature
Recycling...In this day and age, it’s more important than
ever to take care of this beautiful world God has given us by leaving
smaller carbon footprints. Edgefield can contribute to this worthy cause by
recycling our Sunday School literature. This literature will be collected in
the records room and given to needy churches around the world who hunger for
more of the Word, but cannot afford to provide literature to their members.
So please consider bringing your old Sunday school workbooks and pay it
forward.
