great work calls for great partners

This is going to be a great weekend at The Community as we are going to a new level.  You don't want to miss the fun.  So, here are some great thoughts, words, insight, praises and much more.

Don't forget that this Sunday is our day to feed the homeless in Roanoke.  We leave the church at 1:30pm and return before 7pm.

shoes from BB&T

Last Friday I got an e-mail from Beth at the BB&T near the church.  They had a special event going on for customers, and they collected over 50 pairs of shoes.  See the picture.  They have given the shoes to our clothes closet.  Several of those ladies helped us with our back2school event in August.  Great work calls for great partners.

new projectors and screens

Take a look at the picture.  Better than that, come to The Community on Sunday and experience it for yourself.  Our new projectors are up and running.  This is gonna be awesome.  Thanks to all the people who have helped this happen.  Great work calls for great partners.

drummer

Several weeks ago we had a new family become part of The Community.  Funny enough, the dude is a drummer.  And he is good.  This Sunday will be David's first day to take our rhythm to a new level.  It has been almost 3 years since we have had a live drummer.  David is partnering with us in lots of ways.  Great work calls for great partners.

children's cup

This weekend we are hosting Dave and Jean Ohlerking as our special guests.  They lead www.childrenscup.org that is seeing the lives of African children change in awesome ways.  You will hear some exciting news this Sunday as they share with us how God is bringing a brand new Dream Center to Swaziland.  My family has been impacted by these special people through their 40 Days of Prayer with the Children event that was in August and September.  Again, great work calls for great partners.

I'm excited about all God is going at The Community as we partner together to demonstrate the love of God to our community and beyond.  Because the vision God has given us, we must understand that great work calls for great partners.  Thanks for being partners at The Community

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

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look

Day 8 in Cuba

We have just come off and incredible weekend, and it is day 8 of the mission trip in Cuba.  Thank you to all who have been praying for this trip, the mission team and the impact it will have on those we serve.   Please don’t stop praying. Last week Alex and I served with a mission team in the mountains of southern Cuba.  There were several challenges, but God gave us safety, provision and opportunity to serve some of the sweetest people I have ever met.  No running water… sporadic electricity generated by a small, logo dammed up river, no transportation other than animals, limited food sources and more.  These people love the Lord and sharing their faith with others. Over the weekend we made our way back to Havana.  On Friday our vehicle broke down leaving us on the side of the road for several hours.  We then boarded a bus and rode 14 hours.  We arrived safely and even got some rest. Sunday was so, so good.  We visited two partner churches.  In the morning we were with one church that
