The Race, Halloween & more @ The Community

It is the time of the year when we get to do some great things and point lots and lots of people to Jesus.  So, in this email you are going to get several items to think about that will be happening over the next month or more.

Don't forget this weekend it our time to feed the homeless in Roanoke.

RACEWAY MINISTRIES --- we use many volunteers to pass out refreshments, drive carts, work info booths and to pass out Gospel tracts.  Will you help?  You are needed Friday, Saturday or Sunday Oct 23-25 at Martinsville Speedway.  For more information write Lee Hobbs at lhobbs@thecommunityfellowship.org or call the church office at 276-647-8231.

WEDDING --- Cristy Clifton and Travis Cassady are getting married.  It is Oct 24 at 4pm- fairystone state park-conference center. Please rsvp if you are coming, let Cristy know at church or call 276-732-3444, or email her at cclifton2005@yahoo.com

HALLOWEEN --- Each year we partner with btw21 for a great family event.  This year we will be serving a hot dog supper and hosting lots of families in our building as well as passing out candy.  The climbing wall will be back as well.  You are needed to decorate, cook, pass out candy and all those kind of things.  Are you in?  Last year we had over 400 people come through our doors.  It will be more this year.

THANKSGIVING TURKEYS --- We are joining hands with CLEAN HEART MINISTRY in November to help over 100 families.  What we need are Turkeys.  Over 110 Turkeys.  Please start bringing them to church as soon as you can.  The will be given out the Saturday before Thanksgiving.

Yes, there are more things that we can share with you, but that is a start.  Please help us make this fall and the kick off to the holiday season a huge success by partnering with your Community family to touch thousands of lives for the cause of Christ.  Why?  Because we are called to demonstrate the love of God to our community and beyond!

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
