Hello Community Family!

It has already been a great week. Let me remind you to keep praying for the new church as it forms and as the Lord gives us His direction. In the last day we have made several great strides toward a successful future. My application as a church planter with the SBCV is coming together well. The Community Fellowship’s new mailing address is PO BOX 388, Collinsville, VA 24078. We now have a bank account at Smith River Bank, and you can write your checks to The Community Fellowship now. We have been looking at possible meeting places in the area.

Our leadership team (Trey, Lee, Cindy, Tommy and Pastor Michael) will be meeting this week to continue praying, planning and pushing forward with the vision that God has given us. We are still working toward a web site. Keep looking for updates on my blog (http://e-devotion.blogspot.com/ ) and via contact with others.

Encourage those around you to take part in all God is leading us to do. Below are our next two events taking place this weekend. Read carefully and remember that it takes all of us to pull off what we are attemping. Let me know if you have any questions and if you have a desire to serve in some special way.

I am excited to ANNOUNCE that at all our activities from this point forward we will have planned activities and teaching for our children. We are off and running. Keep on …

This will be a pot luck meal under the picnic shelter for the entire church family. Bring enough for your family and more. Southside Park is in lower Martinsville near Mi Ranchito Mexican Restaurant. You turn between Biscuitville and the old BB&T branch. We will have a time of worship and preaching. Our children will have special activities and worship just for them with the help of some new leadership and our teenagers.

I love each of you and am excited about all God is doing. Here are some verses on my heart from this morning:

"For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels— everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him. He was there before any of it came into existence and holds it all together right up to this moment. And when it comes to the church, he organizes and holds it together, like a head does a body. He was supreme in the beginning and— leading the resurrection parade— he is supreme in the end. From beginning to end he's there, towering far above everything, everyone." Colossians 1:16-18 (MSG)

More to come soon! The Community Fellowship is a reality…

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
