Liberty Meals on Wheels began in the Second Baptist kitchen over 30 years ago and has been a part of our local mission partnerships since. Bobbie Chasteen has been a wonderful coordinator in times when Second Baptist is called on to supplement the regular drivers. After 20 years, Bobbie is “retiring,” and we would love to invite another person to coordinate drivers when it is our assigned month. We have a list of 20-25 people who have driven before. Meals on Wheels brings nutritious noontime meals to people who find it difficult to leave their home consistently or are returning home after a hospital stay. The meals are picked up at the Election Board (Beside the Fire Department on Mississippi) to be delivered by volunteer drivers on assigned routes of up to 6 stops. Most routes take between one half and one hour to complete. For some clients, the driver may be the only eye to eye contact for the day! If you would be interested in driving or coordinating drivers, contact Mike Lassiter at mlassiter@2bcliberty.org or 781-2824.
Do you love taking photographs? As part of our effort to capture stories of God's work in our congregation, we would like to form a team of photographers who are willing to be ready to snap a photo at times like Sunday services, when new members join, special church-wide events and service ministries (mission trips, etc.). If you'd like to participate, please contact Kim Halfhill at khalfhill@2bcliberty.org or Connie McNeill at cmcneill@2bcliberty.org. If this brings someone to mind, you could even recommend someone to us!
