The Smithville Cumberland Presbyterian Church (Murfreesboro Presbytery) in Smithville, Tennessee, will open their fellowship hall Thursday night, December 22, 2022, as a warming shelter to the homeless or individuals and families without heat.
“Perhaps you have heard that its going to be really cold in middle Tennessee Thursday night through the weekend,” said church pastor Isaac Gray. “In response to this we want to provide a warm place for those who might need it during this cold snap. If you do not have adequate heating then you are welcome to come to the Smithville Cumberland Presbyterian Church located at 201, South College Street,” Gray continued.
“We will be open on Thursday night and Friday night, December 22 & 23 and maybe even Saturday night, December 24 if the need is present. We will open our facility at 10 p.m. both nights. However, if no one arrives by midnight evening our volunteers will leave under the assumption there may not be a need that evening. Please, if you wish to seek shelter, be at our location at 201 South College Street before midnight. If even one person shows up, we will stay the entire evening. We will also be open on Friday, December 23 during the daytime due to the dangerously cold temperatures throughout the day” added Gray.
