Downtown Service Opp

Bragg Jam 2007
New City Church has an opportunity once again to serve the Macon community - this time thru Bragg Jam. For those not familiar with Bragg Jam, here's what its all about:


Bragg Jam celebrates Macon’s musical heritage with a two-day music festival.It began as an indebted response to the deaths of Brax and Tate Bragg. Russell Walker, a friend of the family, organized a musical celebration of the brothers’ friends to honor them. The goal has consistently been the same: remember the Bragg brothers, showcase the city of Macon and its musical heritage, and raise money for the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail. The positive economic impact on the venues, restaurants, hotels, and other businesses has been greatly appreciated and is reflected in their willingness to participate year after year.
Bragg Jam is quickly becoming the premier musical event in Middle Georgia, and a reminder of what Brax Bragg will always be--an innovative wordsmith and a keen perceiver of human behavior, blessed with the ability to make it sound unique.

July 27 - 2 Volunteers are needed for The Capitol Theater 7:30 - 10:00 pm, and 2 volunteers are need from 10:00 - midnight at the Capitol

Saturday, July 28th at the Arts Festival - 2 volunteers are needed from 12:00 - 2:00pm, and 4 volunteers are needed from 4:00pm - 6:00pm

If you are interested - let me know. This is another great step in establishing ourselves as a church who is both with and for our city. I think we might be the only church volunteering.

UPDATE: Thanks to those of you who signed up to volunteer. As of now, all immediate needs for volunteers have been filled! Bragg Jam volunteer coordinators will stay in touch in case of any other needs! Way to go New City volunteers.

Already people are thinking diffrently about church!
