meet the ANGEL MINISTRY @ The Community

Hello Community family –

We want you to meet the ANGEL FOOD MINISTRY. Recently we entered into a partnership with Southside Community Action here in a Martinsville to provide this ministry to folks in our community who are hungry and who need food at reduced prices. Go take a look atwww.angelfoodministry.com.

Our partnership actually begins this weekend with the first food being delivered on Saturday morning between 8 and 10am for those who have already purchased boxes. Southside Community Action is an organization seeking to help people here in Henry County who are hurting and in need. It has been a natural partnership as we have worked together helping those who are homeless.

Leading this ministry here at The Community will be Robin Martin along with her husband Mike. Their family became a part of our church only a few months ago, but they jumped right in serving no long after they arrived.

How can you be involved?

1. Volunteers are need on food distribution day which is the 3rd Saturday of each month from 7:30 until 10am (this allows us to help feed people 3 Saturdays every month now).

2. Purchase these food boxes for yourself or for others. You can do that atwww.angelfoodministry.com but at this time you would choose the Chatham location making note of a pick up in Collinsville (hoping in July to have an actually link to our site). It can also be purchased up until about the 10th of each month by calling Southside Community Action's office at 276-666-0313. They can also be purchased for the following month at on the distribution here at church. The beauty of this is that food stamps, cash, check or even credit/debit cards can be used to buy the boxes of food.

Want more information? Call the church for general information at 276-647-8231 of via email toinfo@thecommunityfellowship.org. You can also talk with Robin Martin by calling 276-358-0655 or by email to rmartin@piedmontcsb.org.

This is one more way we are "demonstrating the love of God to our community" by feeding the hungry. Step up and help us make this program successful.

PS — we are already serving 50 families this month through Angel Food Ministry. More to come!

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
