Community Grove Planting to Be Held in East Nashville
The Church at Lockeland Springs, 1601 Holly Street
Brentwood, TN – November 19, 2020
The Church at Lockeland Springs (a regional campus of Brentwood Baptist Church) will plant a Community Grove in East Nashville on Saturday, November 21, at 10:00 a.m. Due to this year’s tornado, many trees around the church’s campus were damaged or removed. The Community Grove will replace the lost trees and exist to be a place of rest and solace for the surrounding community.
Pastor David Hannah mentioned, “We are blessed to be a part of an incredible, dynamic, and loving neighborhood. In the past eight months, East Nashville has been deeply affected by a tornado, increasing civil tensions, a contentious election cycle, and a global pandemic. As a response to a year that seems determined to divide us, along with a desire to reflect God’s love and serve our community, we will plant over a dozen trees on our property. This will provide a welcoming space to relax, reflect, meditate, and pray.”
The Community Grove will represent The Church at Lockeland Springs’ first step in creating a green space that can be used by everyone in the neighborhood. It will be a place for hope to be restored and dreams to be born—standing as a faithful reminder of the beauty of creation and the history of a community that will last for generations to come.
