Tis the Season to Give
Even though we are a small church, we wanted to make a point to try to give big during this Holiday season. SouthView has committed to helping these two great groups.
Thanksgiving – Although this has passed, we enjoyed working with the Franklin organization called FEED FRANKLIN FIRST. Mr Willie Otey has a heart and passion for feeding those less fortunate in the Franklin area. Although Franklin is a pretty wealthy town, there are quite a few places where people are really struggling to eat and get by. On the Monday before Thanksgiving we had the pleasure of helping him pack up meals to give out for Thanksgiving dinners. We had a great turnout, and some people outside of our church, even donated food and money towards this worthy cause. Willie continues to serve the local community all year long and we look forward to working with him again.

Christmas- We are excited to be helping out a great organization in Columbia called the HOPE HOUSE. They exist to help those affected by domestic violence. We have committed to buying gifts for 5 families (a total of 14 people). They request that you only spend $75 per person so we are looking to raise $1050 and then go shopping for them. What a great way to help make somebody’s holiday special!
If you are interested in helping out the Hope House, please email us and we will instruct you on how to help give. This opportunity, of course is open to anyone, even if you don’t attend SouthView. You can also check out their website at www.hopehouseofmaury.com
