Tennessee Conference Church makes tax filing less taxing for people needing help

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS)--Tax season can be one of the most dreaded times of the year, but one United Methodist congregation is approaching it as an outreach opportunity - an outreach that includes hot coffee and fresh donuts.
West Nashville United Methodist Church is offering a free Tax-Aide clinic every Saturday for three months. The Tax-Aide program, created by AARP, has assisted more than 30 million seniors and low-income people over the past 40 years.
"The doors of this church are always open because we have a real open-door policy," says Sherry Cothran Woolsey, director of missions at West Nashville United Methodist Church. She sees being a part of the Tax-Aide program as in line with the church's purpose.
"Anything that we can do that expresses the mission of the church - love of God and love of neighbor - that's what we're all about," Woolsey says.
Tax-Aide provides tax preparation help to low- and middle-income taxpayers free of charge. The program depends on 32,000 volunteers working at more than 7,800 sites around the United States.
One such volunteer is Julian Suggs, a former pastor who serves as the Tax-Aide district coordinator for the Middle Tennessee area. Suggs and a dozen other certified trained experts work at the West Nashville Church site, giving up 11 consecutive Saturdays to give others a special tax break.
"My wife and I, shall I say, have a healthy discussion this time of year," Suggs says. "She says, 'You know you're working a full-time job as a volunteer.' And, I answer, 'Yes, but I believe in it!'"
Tax picture can change
Suggs, with his upbeat demeanor and friendly smile, walks around the clinic assisting clients, answering questions and speaking with people as they await their turn to see an agent.
The tax picture for retirees can change dramatically in a short period of time, Suggs says. For instance, if the spouse who usually prepares the household taxes becomes sick or dies, filing can become a difficult issue. In addition, he says, paying an accountant or broker can be a budget buster.
"There are very few seniors that understand these complicated affairs," Suggs says. "The elderly, widows and poor income families need help, and I feel fortunate that I've been trained to provide that help. And this is very rewarding. After their forms are all accepted, I have the most wonderful calm and peace that I was able to help people and save them a lot of money."
'A great help'
After filing her taxes at the West Nashville Church, retired factory worker Thelma Mulloy, 76, is no longer fretting and fussing over the process. She is getting her taxes completed electronically and claims she couldn't do this without the help of the experts.
"This would take a chunk out of my Social Security check, which I need for house payments, light bills and water bills," she says. "And I need all the money I can get for my medication, so this is just a great help for me."
"When you don't have a lot of funds coming in every month after you retire, you don't have a job and you live on Social Security, you just don't have the money you would like to have. This just means a whole lot," says client Nira Gamble, 74, of the church's Tax-Aide program. "I think this is wonderful. … I appreciate all of these people."
Tax-Aide client Lillian Richmond, 52, also has a trained financial counselor advising her at no cost.
"I'm all finished with my taxes," she says. "And it was for free - and they serve coffee and donuts, too. You can't beat that. I'm relieved and appreciate it now that it's over with and filed electronically. I don't even have to put a stamp on it!"
More information on Tax-Aide is available by calling (888) 227-7669 or going to http://www.aarp.org/ online.

Nashville to Observe 10-Year Anniversary of Tornado with World Premiere of New Choral/Orchestral Work
On April 16, ten years to the day that a powerful tornado created a path of destruction through Nashville, singers from East Nashville and the Vanderbilt community, accompanied by chamber orchestra, will present the world premiere of a new work commissioned to observe the storm’s 10-year anniversary and the community revitalization that has occurred in that decade.
The four-movement piece, “The Gardener,” was composed by David Childs, Assistant Professor at Vanderbilt’s Blair School of Music. The performance will be directed by Joseph Lee, Music Director at East End United Methodist Church. The premiere performance will be Wednesday, April 16 at 7:00 PM in the historic sanctuary of & lt; u1:place u2:st="on">East End United Methodist Church, 1212 Holly Street. The concert is free and open to the public and child care will be provided. A community photo and video exhibit will also be on display at the event.
On April 16, 1998, Nashville became the first major U.S. city in nearly 20 years to be struck by an F2 (or larger) tornado in the downtown area. The tornado, which tore through neighborhoods in East Nashville, claimed the life of Vanderbilt senior Kevin Longinotti and caused approximately $100 million in damages. At the center of Nashville’s historic neighborhoods east of downtown, East End United Methodist Church served as the staging area for countless relief crews providing aide and assistance to storm victims.
“The Gardener” was commissioned by East End United Methodist Church and is sponsored by Rediscover East! and East Nashville neighborhood associations, businesses, and individuals.
Note by Jama Bowen: The East Nashville congregation is no stranger to providing assistance to disaster victims.
The church buildings remained virtually untouched by three major disasters which struck the neighborhood over the last century. In 1916, more than 700 homes were destroyed or damaged by a fire which left 3,000 neighbors homeless. Then in 1933, a tornado ripped through the neighborhood killing 37 persons and causing mass destruction. East End Methodist welcomed Eastland Christian Church to hold services in the sanctuary until Eastland’s own tornado damage could be repaired. Sixty-five years later in 1998, another tornado followed a nearly identical path through East Nashville. The only physical change to the main building occurred when the huge wooden doors of the sanctuary were pulled open by the tornado, despite being dead-bolt locked. East End once again shared the sanctuary with another congregation, the Power of Deliverance, whose own church building was destroyed. Through all three of these disasters, East End United Methodist Church played a pivotal role in providing aide and assistance to thousands of victims.

Bethlehem United Methodist Church hosts Annual Easter Egg Hunt and Blessing of the Animals, Saturday, March 22nd, 10:00 a.m.
Nothing rings in springtime quite like Easter. That means two long-standing Bethlehem United Methodist Church traditions are just around the corner and the community is invited. On Saturday, March 22, the Annual Easter Egg Hunt will be held on the church grounds at 2419 Bethlehem Loop Road in the Grassland area.
Children will be divided into three age groups to hunt in different areas. At 10:00 sharp the children will burst from their starting gates like Derby race horses - so you won't want to be a second late! Just like the Derby, bonnets are always in style for the ladies! To knock off the early springtime chill, hot coffee and cocoa will be served. If the chill is too intense, the hunt will
move inside the church gym, so plan to come - rain, snow or shine! With a little luck, the children's Sunday School caterpillars will be butterflies by then and ready for release!
Immediately following the egg hunt, all attention will turn to our favorite four legged friends. The Blessing of the Animals is a wonderful Easter tradition at Bethlehem. Held next to the children's playground behind the main building, this outdoor service recognizes all God's creatures and the important place they each hold in our world, as well as our lives. Dogs, cats, horses, birds, gerbils, reptiles and even fish have been blessed in the past. It's a short,
but meaningful, service that will absolutely make your day!
Both of these events are wonderful opportunities to reach out to our community.
The church will provide plenty of eggs, candy and atmosphere to make this a fun Saturday morning Easter event. You are also invited to come back to Bethlehem for Easter Sunday morning services at 6:30 a.m. (Sunrise Service) or 8:15 a.m. and 10:45 a.m.. For more information on either event or other Easter opportunities, contact the church office at 794-6721 or visit www.bethlehemumc.com.

Antioch Church Remembers “The Passion” Through The Seven Last Words
Back in 2004, “The Passion of the Christ” was the hot topic of conversation, as Mel Gibson’s movie made its way through the movie theaters. Four years later, the movie has faded into history, but the subject of Jesus’ arrest, death, and resurrection continues to be on the mind of those persons who call themselves Christian. This is especially true for the people of the Antioch United Methodist Church as they offer a special opportunity to think about Jesus’ death in a special art/prayer exhibit called “The Seven Last Words.”
Throughout the ages, from the earliest days of the church, Christian people have used the week before Easter Sunday as a time of special reflection and prayer on the story of Christ’s passion. This week, called “Holy Week” in some traditions, begins with Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and then follows the subsequent events, including the Last Supper, Jesus’ praying in Gethsemane, his arrest, trial, and crucifixion. Many Christian churches host special worship service during this week.
The Antioch United Methodist Church is likewise hosting special worship services on Thursday and Friday of Holy Week, but they are going a bit farther in trying to help all think about the implications of Jesus’ death. The Seven Last Words is both an art exhibit and a prayer space designed to help persons connect with the story of Christ’s death through artistic interpretations of the last seven phrases that Jesus is reported to say in the hours and moments leading up to his crucifixion. The goal of the event is to help persons think in new ways about the meaning of Jesus for our world today, and participants are invited to come and interactively engage in reflecting on the person of Jesus.
The Seven Last Words will open in conjunction with the Antioch UMC Spring Fling on Saturday, March 15 at 9 a.m. and be open from 8:00 until 6:00 p.m. on March 16, 5:00 until 9:00 p.m. on March 19-21, and by appointment (by calling 832-6248).
The Antioch United Methodist Church is located on Tusculum Rd, just off Blue Hole Rd., in Antioch.

Singer/Songwriter Sarah Hart Host "Daughters Day of Reflection"; Women's Retreat to Benefit Jacob's Ladder Preschool, April 19, 2008
(NASHVILLE, TN)—Though her career as a singer, songwriter and speaker leads her to travel all over the globe, it is Sarah Hart’s role as mom that has led her to Nolensville, Tennessee. On Saturday, April 19, 2008, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., this noted artist and speaker will lead women in a one-day retreat dubbed ‘Daughters Day of Reflection,’ held at Nolensville First United Methodist Church.
‘Daughters Day of Reflection’ will allow women the opportunity to see what makes them unique and yet connected to one another, through reflection on the women of scripture. The day includes extensive study of prominent women of the Bible, snack, lunch and music by Sarah Hart.
Tickets for the event are $25 and are available by contacting Jacob’s Ladder Preschool at 776-7362. All proceeds go to benefit Jacob’s Ladder Preschool at Nolensville First United Methodist Church. The preschool is a non-denominational Bible-based early childhood development center in the community for children ages three to five.
“This is my daughter’s third, and sadly, last year at Jacob’s Ladder,” says Hart. “We have been so blessed to be a part of this program. What Terri and her staff have accomplished with the children and families at Jacob’s Ladder is a gift to our community; this day is just a little ‘thank you’ from my own family!”
“There will be lots of singing, storytelling, and sharing during the Day of Reflection,” she continues. “And every woman who attends should feel refreshed and re-energized after our time together!”
Sarah is currently at work on her latest project, Road to Ohio, slated for a spring release on Centricity Records. A folk recording, described by Hart as “sparse and acoustic”, it is co-produced by Sarah and friend Mitch Dane, known for his work with Grammy Award-winning band Jars of Clay. She also begins a new recording in March of 2008 entitled SaintSong, which will feature the writings of some of the greatest religious thinkers of history set to contemporary music.
Sarah has toured with such contemporary Christian artists as Wes King and Kathy Troccoli, and has performed with numerous other artists such as Newsboys and Randy Stonehill. Her music has appeared on radio everywhere and has been featured on such television shows as Joan of Arcadia and Strong Medicine. Sarah has received six Unity Awards from the United Catholic Music and Video Association for her work, including the 2005 awards for Producer of the Year, Album of the Year and Songwriter of the Year for her third solo project, Into These Rooms.
Hart is the mother of two girls, and makes her home in Nolensville with husband Kevin. In addition to recording three solo albums and numerous compilation projects, she is an award-winning record producer, a founder of the popular all-women singing group Daughters of God, and has been a staff songwriter for major Christian music publishers.

East End United Methodist Church Celebrates 100 Years on Holly Street with Homecoming Sept. 30
East End UMC's men's Sunday school class seated on the front steps of the sanctuary in the early years.On a fall afternoon in 1907, the members of East End United Methodist Church, 1212 Holly Street, gathered on the front lawn to dedicate the completion of the brand new sanctuary. It was a bustling time in Nashville and in the nation, then comprising 45 states. Teddy Roosevelt was president, electric trolleys were Nashville’s mode of public transportation, and magician Harry Houdini was all the rage. On Sunday, Sept. 30, 2007, the East End congregation will celebrate the sanctuary’s 100th anniversary with a homecoming event featuring special music, speakers from several generations of East Enders, and a luncheon.
East End Methodist Church was established in 1889, but it soon outgrew the first building it constructed at 1100 Fatherland. In 1905, the congregation purchased the land on Holly Street, in Nashville’s historic East End neighborhood, for $2,500 and funded the $14,000 needed to start basic construction. On October 27, 1907, the sanctuary was complete and a capacity crowd attended worship service and laid the cornerstone.
For 100 years, generations have lovingly cared for the sanctuary, striving to honor its purpose as a house of worship and maintain its historic and architectural integrity. The building combines a Victorian style Romanesque Revival exterior with a Colonial Revival interior. The tower design is taken directly from medieval fortification, including the tower’s arrow slits.
The main stained glass window at the north end of the sanctuary pictures Christ as the Good Shepherd. The window has been attributed by some to the Tiffany Studios. The sanctuary’s pipe organ was purchased in 1912, with philanthropist Andrew Carnegie donating one-half of the needed funds. The unique pipe organ is still used today in all of East End’s services.

It is still used today in East End's servicesOver the last century the church campus has grown to include the construction of Sunday school classrooms and playground (1921), parsonage (1923), annex and park (1946), and an additional wing (1950s).
The church buildings remained virtually untouched by three major disasters which struck the neighborhood over the last century. In 1916, more than 700 homes were destroyed or damaged by a fire which left 3,000 neighbors homeless. Then in 1933, a tornado ripped through the neighborhood killing 37 persons and causing mass destruction. East End Methodist welcomed Eastland Christian Church to hold services in the sanctuary until Eastland’s own tornado damage could be repaired. Sixty-five years later in 1998, another tornado followed a nearly identical path through East Nashville. The only physical change to the main building occurred when the huge wooden doors of the sanctuary were pulled open by the tornado, despite being dead-bolt locked. East End once again shared the sanctuary with another congregation, the Power of Deliverance, whose own church building was destroyed. Through all three of these disasters, East End United Methodist Church played a pivotal role in providing aide and assistance to thousands of victims.
To further commemorate the sanctuary’s first 100 years, the church is collecting 100 Prayers of Thanksgiving and 100 Prayers of Hope. Prayers may be sent by email to office@eastendumc.org; mail to 1212 Holly Street, Nashville TN, 37206; or phone 615-227-3272.

Antioch Church Holds Twentieth Fall Fair
Twenty years ago, the members of the Antioch United Methodist Church were looking for a way to raise a few dollars and reach out to their neighborhood. They came upon the idea of hosting a small "Fall Fair," inviting their neighbors to gather for some shopping and a great meal.
Twenty years later, the members of the church shake their heads at what this event has become. What started out with humble beginnings has become an important community event, bringing almost a thousand people to the church on the first Saturday in October. It has expanded to include a flea market, a farmer's market, a bake sale, both silent and regular auctions of items from all over, a breakfast and barbecue lunch, and a children's carnival area.
The church has had to include parking attendants to help with the traffic, and church members have to park down the street and ride a shuttle bus to leave parking spaces for the guests. "It's really hard to imagine the scope of what we do on that day," said Jay Voorhees, pastor of the congregation. "You really have to experience it first hand."
Voorhees shared that the church sees this as a service to the people of Antioch and South Nashville. "We don't have enough opportunities to gather as a community in South Nashville. We hope that our Fall Fair can be one of those times where neighbors from throughout the Antioch area and beyond gather for fun and fellowship."
However, the reach of this event goes beyond a single day and a single congregation. The Antioch congregation designates almost half of the proceeds of the event to be awarded to service projects and organizations outside of the church. These funds have been used to prepare biscuits for local hunger agencies, build houses for Habitat for Humanity, and support local work with the homeless and needy of Nashville and beyond.
This year will feature a new dress up area for the children. Kids will be able to dress up in costume, get made up, and have pictures taken of them in a variety of outfits. The Antioch United Methodist Church Fall Fair 2007 will be held on Saturday, October 6, from 8:00 a.m. until 2 p.m. More information about the event can be obtained by calling the church office at 832-6248 or e-mail at office@antiochumc.net. The Antioch United Methodist Church is located at 41 Tusculum Rd., near Blue Hole Rd. in Antioch.

Palestine United Methodist Church – 150th Anniversary Celebration, Sunday, September 9, 2007, 11:00 a.m.
In 1857 a group of settlers lived near and around Carrs Creek, on the south side of Springfield, TN. The families were meeting in the homes for Worship on Sundays and found a need to find a place for the community to have a place to Worship. Land was given to a group of men who became the trustees for what was then known as Palestine Methodist Episcopal Church South. On this land was a log structure, which was used for a place to Worship and a school house for the community.
In 1895 a new church was built by the members of the church. The trees that stood on the land were cut and sawed into lumber and the members of the church took on the task of building the church. Though the name has changed to Palestine United Methodist Church, this same building is still used for a place of Worship by the current members today.
On Sunday, September 9, 2007 at 11:00 A.M. we will gather for Homecoming to celebrate our 150th anniversary of the church. Rev. Delwyn Fryer will be our guest speaker for the church service. Rev. Fryer is a former member of Palestine and is now Pastor of Mt. Pleasant United Methodist Church. His brother, Rev. Jeff Fryer, is now a retired United Methodist pastor. They have both shared stories of their grandfather, Samuel Q. Fryer, a local pastor, and how he preached many a sermon under the old shed that once stood on the church property.
Lunch will be served following the 11AM worship service.
The afternoon will be filled with gospel singing featuring James Marshall, The Mellatones, Jerry and Betty Boyte, Tim and Pam Harris, 4 Praise, Homer Felts and Family, Rick Wilson and Friends and others.
A traditional love offering will be taken this day for the maintenance of the cemetery.
A book of the history of Palestine United Methodist Church, plus a pencil sketch of the church by Leslie Alley will be available for purchase.
Pastor Diane Coppock and current members of Palestine cordially invite all families and friends, past and present to come and celebrate with us on this very special day. The church is located at 2715 Old Hwy. 431, Springfield, TN

Cornersville United Methodist Church gets involved with the community
The Rev. Ray HartmanOver the past year Pastor Ray Hartman, during his sermons, has
been presenting the concept of being involved with the community.
The idea is that by showing we care we can begin to build relationships
with those around us. He suggested volunteer work, delivering baked
goods to neighbors, having neighbors over for coffee, etc.
Some of the members really took this to heart as they became involved
with city government by being elected to public office. Amos Davis is now our new
Mayor, Carl Moses was elected Alderman, Melissa Peters was a write in
candidate for Alderman, and Doris Arthur had been appointed earlier to fill out
the term of an Alderman who resigned. These folks along with the other members
of the city council can now work together to solve problems and continue to
make our community a wonderful place to live.
Other projects from our church this year:
We passed out over 300 plants to everyone in Cornersville as a gift from our church.
We made 8 Mommy Baskets for the Pregnancey Resource Center.
We made up gift bags for first time visitors along with a new church brochure.
We have chartered a new Cub Scout Pack in the community.
