Twice a year since 2004, a team of about 15 women come together for a week of bonding and service. A ministry was launched that would exceed all expectations: the Children's Clothing Sale. What we thought was a ministry for others, became just as much a ministry for ourselves. It's not just about the clothes; it's about the deep connections and the opportunity to show people Jesus through kindness and compassion.

In 2028, Sycamore View Church will turn 50 years old, and we want to do this right. We want to use the next few years as a season of reflection and preparation: reflection concerning all God has done through this church and preparation for God’s future here. We want to be great story-tellers. So we’re launching what we’re calling “50 for 50.” Telling fifty stories. Over fifty months. Celebrating fifty years. At the beginning of every month until the spring of 2028, we will release a new story celebrating events, ministries, people, and risks, all in attempt to honor ways God has shaped and formed this church. Sycamore View is a community church based in Memphis, Tennessee. Learn more about our community and mission at sycamoreview.org.

Over 20 years ago, our church family
asked our elders to study three issues: divorce and
remarriage, instrumental worship, and the role of
women in public worship. Over the next decade, our
leaders carefully, thoughtfully, and prayerfully worked
through these three conversations. We wanted to
provide clarity on these issues as we continued with
"Helping people see Jesus." In this 50 for 50, Phil Hart
talks us through our position paper on Instrumental
Worship.

In 2008, Sycamore View began a capital campaign to update the building to accommodate our thriving church. We knew God was calling us to create a space for young people, especially those right here in our neighborhood, but we weren't exactly sure what that would look like. As God does, he threw open doors and showed us exactly what that could look like. Years later, the Boys and Girls Club at Sycamore View is still thriving and growing in ways we could have never imagined.
