Phone numbers for county offices change

Submitted by John Phelps, Community Blogger

Thursday, November 10th, 2011, 10:22pm

Shelby County Government agencies, including the Mayor’s Office and Sheriff’s Office, have new telephone numbers.

All county agency offices at the Criminal Justice Center and the Vasco Smith, Jr. Administration Building, 160 North Main, now have new telephone numbers beginning with “222.”

The “222” numbers replaced several telephone exchanges that begin with 545, 377, 379, 544 and others. Most new numbers with prefix “222” also have four new digits assigned to them.

For several months, people who call the old county government numbers will get a recording for the new numbers.

The new “222” telephone numbers are also being used at the Shelby County Health Department offices on Jefferson. The Shelby County Corrections Center and other administrative offices on Mullins Station Road will have new telephone numbers in the next few months.

Bellevue's Singing Christmas Tree is Back

Bellevue Baptist Church presents it's 2011 Singing Christmas Tree: Destination Christmas.

In a hectic train station full of holiday travelers rushing to meet loved ones, three strangers—and three stories—are on a collision course that will change their lives forever.

Their journey is about to become their "Destination: Christmas"!

The Singing Christmas Tree is a Memphis tradition like no other, and Bellevue Baptist Church proudly presents "Destination: Christmas." This beloved annual production weaves a modern-day story with the timeless truth of Jesus' birth.

For the Singing Christmas Tree's 36th year, "Destination: Christmas" will feature original story and music; the signature 44-foot Christmas tree; over 100,000 lights; a cast, choir, and orchestra of over 400; and a performance worthy of Broadway itself. This year's production creates an uplifting story and vividly brings to life the miracle of Christ's birth.
