Operation Inasmuch coming up Saturday

The Johnson County Ministerial Alliance will conduct its third Operation Inasmuch Service Day on Saturday, April 21, from 9:00 AM to mid afternoon. It will be a day of small repair and cleaning projects for needy people in Mountain City and surrounding areas in Johnson County, as well as special activities including Communion for shut-ins and others. These projects are intended for those who need help because of age or health, or lack of sufficient funds to hire the work done. Operation Inasmuch takes its name from Christ’s statement in Matthew 25:40 “Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”

Operation Inasmuch began in 1995 at the Snyder Memorial Baptist Church in Fayetteville, North Carolina and has spread to hundreds of churches throughout the U.S. and parts of Canada and the UK. It brings Christians of various denominations together to serve needy people in the name of Jesus Christ.

The Headquarters for this year’s service day will be the First United Methodist Church on Church Street in Mountain City. The group will gather there at 8:30 AM for prayer and final assignments.

Workers with various skills, including carpentry, light housework, yard work, etc. are needed. If you would like to request help with such a project that can be done in one day or if you would like to volunteer, please call Pastors Carroll Hayworth, Victory Chapel (727-1975) or Thomas Peake, Mountain City Presbyterian Church (727-8801). A planning meeting will be held at the First Assembly of God Church at 1923 Highway 421 North on Saturday, April 14th at 10:00 AM.
