How One Church Demonstrates "Crazy" Love to Its Community

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

[Nashville, TN] - New Covenant Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) will present its' Annual Community Day Event taking place at 2201 Osage St on August 5 & August 6 featuring live music, record expungement, health screenings, free haircuts, free backpacks and other giveaways for adults and children.

New Covenant Christian Church in Nashville, Tennessee has held its Community Day, an all-day block party-style event, for the past several years with the intent of showing a "crazy" love that is extravagant, selfless, and sacrificial. As any New Covenant member would tell you, "It's more than just a party, It's all about changing lives."

Led by an army of New Covenant members with blocked streets and an event that rivals any city-run festival, the church partners with businesses, community agencies, government leaders and judges, healthcare providers, and other local social activists in the private and public sector to meet the practical, social, emotional, legal, and financial needs of its community in relevant and tangible ways.

This past Community Day welcomed over 500 people. Participating corporations, vendors and partners have included Pepsi, National Urban League, Soles for Souls, and others. The year's Community Day on August 6 is expected to exceed previous years' attendance and impact.

While it's easy to understand why a social justice-oriented ministry such as New Covenant would lead the way in tackling tough issues in the community around poverty, immigration, affordable housing, racism, education, fair opportunities for former convicts, healthcare access, food insecurity, and other social issues affecting the most underserved in North Nashville, the real story is how individual lives have been transformed as result of New Covenant's extravagant love for its community.

Rev. Dr. Judy Cummings, Senior Pastor of New Covenant said,
"These families came seeking backpacks for their kids, shoes for their family, and
record expungement for their dad and ended up with love being poured all over them." Cummings added, "It is amazing to watch the lives of men and women changed as they leave our church campus knowing that they will be able to improve their economic status as result of having a clean criminal record. This is what the church is called to do--to be emancipating and transforming agents within our communities."
