Huge sunflower bouquets have been brightening the lobby of our Crisis Ministry this week! Our volunteer Bill brought them over from the Ecumenical Garden here in Black Mountain. This garden is a partnership between volunteers at Black Mountain Presbyterian Church and First Baptist Church Black Mountain, both SVCM member churches. They’re a lovely reminder of the good that can bloom when we work together.🌻

Have a blessed weekend!

🏠 Like a good neighbor, Jerry Morris Insurance has become a Gold Sponsor for Walk for Your Neighbor!

For more than 30 years, Jerry Morris and his team have been serving neighbors throughout Black Mountain, Swannanoa, Old Fort and surrounding communities - helping local families and businesses protect what matters most.

What really stands out about this agency is the personal connection. Jerry Morris State Farm combines the resources and range of coverage you expect from State Farm with the accessibility of having a local agent and team you can call, text, or visit when you need help.

But being a good neighbor is about more than insurance - it’s about showing up for your community. We’re thankful that Jerry Morris State Farm Insurance is doing just that by supporting Walk for Your Neighbor. Their support helps us continue walking alongside our neighbors and building a stronger, more caring community together.

👏 Thank you, Jerry, for being a good neighbor!

If you’d like to join Jerry Morris State Farm Insurance as a sponsor of Walk for Your Neighbor, it’s not too late! For more information, visit our Walk for Your Neighbor page at the link in the comments below. Sponsor by August 31 to ensure recognition in all event materials. Registration is also open! Register by September 14th to ensure you receive a WFYN t-shirt!

🌟SVCM is searching for a Volunteer Hairstylist/Barber with skilled hands and a heart of gold!🌟

Earlier this year, our beloved volunteer stylist Pam moved out of state. SVCM’s Crisis Ministry is now searching for a professionally-trained barber or hairstylist who would like to volunteer their services for our neighbors in need. ✂ Because a haircut is more than just a haircut - it's care, a fresh start, and a boost of confidence to go tackle those big life goals.

At our Crisis Ministry, we have a dedicated salon room (pictured) and tools for you to use! 💈 We offer haircuts for adults and children year-round, but we especially love to offer haircuts for kids in our community as they’re heading back to school.

If you are interested in becoming our new Volunteer Hairstylist/Barber, please call (828) 669-9404 or message us! 📲

Do you know someone who might be the perfect fit? Please share this post with them! 💬
