SUMMARY: Mississippi Power has partnered with Harrison County to launch its annual Christmas tree recycling program, running from today until January 12th. Five convenient drop-off locations are available throughout Harrison County for residents to recycle their live Christmas trees. The trees must be free of decorations and cannot be flocked. The recycled trees will be transformed into mulch for parks and flower beds, supporting environmental stewardship. This program, which has been ongoing for several years, aims to provide a safe disposal option while enhancing local green spaces. Residents are encouraged to recycle their trees promptly to prevent fire hazards.

Gifts are now unwrapped and decorations are all boxed up — but where do we throw out our Christmas trees? Kaila Moran Griffith answers.

SUMMARY: During the Christmas season, the Ministry “Take It By Force” delivered warmth and nourishment to the unsheltered in Gulfport, Mississippi. Led by Pastor Tanya Powell, the ministry prepared over 70 meals and offered prayers on a chilly evening outside Feed My Sheep. Emphasizing selflessness and service, Pastor Powell highlighted the importance of caring for the homeless, especially during the holidays. She called for local and state leaders to collaborate in providing shelter for those in need, advocating for the use of vacant buildings. Looking ahead, the ministry plans to host more feeding events in 2025, aiming to double their outreach.

With help from the congregation, over 70 plates were prepared and handed out along with prayers and words of encouragement.
