press release from The Community Dream Center

PRESS RELEASE

Immediate Media Release, April 27, 2011

 

 

HENRY COUNTY, VA.   ---  The Community Dream Center (TCDC) board of directors announces we will be hosting three community meetings in the month of May to share information about us and about the work we will be doing to assist hurting people in and around Henry County.

 

The first meeting we are hosting will be this coming Sunday, May 1st, at Bassett High School beginning at 3:30pm.  Other community meetings will be announced in the coming days and weeks.

 

Everyone is invited and encouraged to attend.  TCDC is a brand new local organization modeled closely after the highly successful Los Angeles Dream Center.  The Dream Center model has assisted in lowering the crime rate in the areas it has been located and in seeing the lives of those it serves greatly changed.  We seek to fill the gaps in services here in our community with the largest of those being a residence for homeless men. 

 

"For more than four years The Community Fellowship has sought to meet needs in the lives of the people in our community.  This has been done through assisting with benevolent needs including food, clothing and more," says Michael Harrison lead pastor of The Community Fellowship and founder of The Community Dream Center.  "It is our desire to offer services to those in need as well as to point people to the services that other organizations offer."

 

If you are interested in helping or for more information, contact The Community Dream Center by calling 276-647-8233 or by emailing info@tcdc.info.  Please pray for those in need and help make a difference in the lives of those around us.

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
