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 ...

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.

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....
