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!

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan. His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God. Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st. The book is Forgotten God . This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into. All of it is within the Holy Spirit. Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people. It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about. And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts. We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things. It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share. For me C.S. Lewis is one of those. He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class. It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before. He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born. It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian. He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
