On Saturday, September 27, 2008, the Singles Ministry of Hermitage Hills Baptist Church was excited to participate in the 17th Annual Hands-On Nashville Day. Ten individuals gave up their precious morning sleepy time to volunteer their time at Dodson Elementary School in Hermitage, TN.
We arrived at the school at about 8 AM and met Steve Christiansen, the Project Coordinator, and Jason Taylor, Dodson’s Assistant Principal. Jason gave us a quick tour of the grounds and then we got to work. About halfway through the workday, we had the opportunity to meet the school’s new principal, Mrs. Tiffany Curtis, who seemed very grateful for our help. By the end of the day, we had painted five entryways to the schools portable buildings, one swing-set, and pulled more weeds than you can shake a stick at.
I want to send out a big thank you to everyone from the Singles Ministry that came together to help out with this wonderful event. You guys should be very proud of the work you did. I would also like to extend a special thank to Steve Christiansen of Deloitte for coordinating the event, and to Principals Curtis and Taylor for allowing us to come help. We hope to continue our relationship with your school in the future!
