get ready for the party

Yes, it is too early to get ready for our tailgate party on September the 16th, but we need to be planning for a big party and letting our friends know about it, too.

What you got to get ready is this stuff:

INVITATIONS (you will get some on Sunday at church...but make your own. Do something to invite people. They will hear about Jesus and have a blast at church.)

FOOD (what are your going to bring for you and others? I am thinking about some good ol' BBQ and friend chicken or a burger and hot dog on the grill. We will have guests. Don't forget the beverages.)

CHAIRS (lawn chair, beach chair...whatever)

GRILLS & COOLERS (too cook the food, silly, and keep the drinks cold)

PRAYER (don't forget this because we are here to "demonstrate the love of God to our community")

The other stuff that will be there:

GIFTS (everyone who comes, member, attender or friend gets a special gift. Come and see.)

KIDS GAMES (big blow up bouncy thing with tunnels, ball pit and more. Climbing wall...I went to the top of it last time we had it...you'll see that again.)

BAND (our band and another makng the place rock)

All of this is happening in our parking lot at The Communuity Fellowship and I am excited about it. Help us get the word out about the party. It is going to be awesome. More to come....

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....
