Meet Katlynn

Say hello to Katlynn. It's been about a week since I wanted to tell
you how proud I am of her.

Her mom, Susi, works with me at The Community. Her dad, Greg, is our
chief graphic dude at The Community. She has a little brother, Konner,
and a big sister, Brianna.

But why I'm proud of her is because of what she did for her birthday.
She asked her friends and family not to buy her gifts. They were to
buy craft supplies for the children's hospital at Baptist Hospital in
Wake Forest, NC. You heard me right. Later this month Katlynn will
deliver all kinds of craft stuff to some special kids.

What an awesome thing this 7 year old did! Her parents are proud of
her. Her pastor is proud of her.

How about this? Will you help her buy more craft supplies? It would
be awesome to double what Katlynn has to give.

Here is what you do: write her mom an email to sfulcher@thecommunityfellowship.org
, let her know you want to help and ask how (wal-mart gift card, drop
off supplies, donate in other ways).

Let's make this little girl's day and year by helping her help more
kids in need. Sounds like a great ARK (act of random kindness).

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....

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 ...
