Our recreational sports fall under the umbrella of the Nurture Ministry. Here at Nurture, we prioritize programs that expand opportunities for non-competitive creative play within the congregation and team sports that develop skills and self-determination in a positive environment within the congregation and in the community.
Field Play Ability: Please call the ESCRA Weather Hotline 901-679-6041 by 8:00 a.m. to see if your field or gym will be playing or if it is closed.
