Men's Day & a Wedding

Rootbeer floats, wedding cake and great music. What do they have in
common? It was this morning at The Community Fellowship.

Men's Day had been on the calendar for over two months when we learned
that one our ladies moms was diagnosed with cancer. Tests are not good
and treatment started immediately. Her wedding was set for over a
month later, but mom's health was about to take a big hit due to high
powered treatments. What did we do?

Walk in the door with me. 2 bass boats from Angler's Choice outside.
Numerous taxidermied fish, a deer head, a bob cake and more just
inside from Sonny Joyce. Across the room, set for a wedding reception.
It was an awesome day. Rootbeer floats are being served, too.

Many people who don't go to church showed up. Several of them we've
been praying for their salvation. Special music from NewFound was
good! In 90 minutes we worshiped, absorbed some Jesus through the
Bible and participated in Karri and Matt's wedding ceremony. It was
awesome.

It is all about loving people. Meeting people where they are and
talking about Jesus. No telling how many hits, or seeds were sown, at
The Community this morning.

More to come ...

"I have become just about sort of servant there is in my attempts to
lead those I meet into a God-saved life." 1 Corinthians 9:22b (MSG)

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....
