The recent storm that hit Memphis left many people with urgent needs, and Christ Church wants to respond to these needs through a special offering on Sundays, June 11 and 18.
Needs
Neighborhood Christian Center (NCC) is on the ground, in the neighborhoods, meeting the needs of those who have lost or are without food due to power outages. The demand has nearly tripled, and NCC’s food supplies desperately need replenishing. They are able to buy food at greatly reduced prices and ask that we help with financial contributions.

Christ Church students help residents restock their pantries
Yesterday, Christ Church students saw some of the needs firsthand as they helped the Mid-South Food Bank package foods to give to storm victims at a mobile food pantry in Frayser.
