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 ...

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....
