Community prayer needs

My family just got home from a quick trip to Oklahoma for my niece's wedding. The trip was good, and it was good to be with my family. Sure missed being with you, my Community family.. Love you all so much.

Here are some prayer needs for you to pray for today:

Rashem Penn, Larry and Joan Norman's son-in-law, died last night. Not sure of all the details yet. His wife is Larry and Joan's daughter Stephanie, and they have 3 kids. The kids come to The Community from time to time with Larry and the family.

Cody Moorefield Jr came home from the hospital last night. He is at his parent's home and is healing. His jaw is broken but all other things seem to be going well.

Nancy Wright is at Stanleytown rehab recovering from her leg surgery. Talked to her this morning, and she is doing well

Billy Bookes went to the hospital with check pains this morning. No other details at this time.

Susi, Cindy Hall, Julie and I are headed to a meeting in Atlanta. We will be back on the weekend. Please step up to minister to these people in our family. Another way we are demonstrating the love of God to our community. Can't wait to see you all on Sunday!

MICHAEL (James 1:5)

And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts.

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share. For me C.S. Lewis is one of those. He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class. It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before. He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born. It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian. He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
