Trentville is partnering with other area churches and individuals in the community to support the Bread of Life Meal Ministry of Alexander Memorial UMC in Bishop, VA. Bishop is a “company coal mining town” on the Vriginia & West Virginia state line that has fallen on hard times with the decline of the coal industry, and many people in and around Holston Conference have stepped up to assist Alexander Memorial in their ministries. This support continues throughout the year in the form of monetary donations, food deliveries, school supplies, and other desperately needed items. There will be a trip planned in November 2021 to deliver bulk food and Christmas gifts, and another trip in January 2022 to deliver a donation of frozen meat for the meal ministry. If you would like to know more about the ministry, please contact the church office at 865-933-5041, or you can check out the Alexander Bread of Life Facebook page at www.facebook.com/alexander.bol.100.
