PRESS RELEASE

Immediate Media Release, May 8, 2011

HENRY COUNTY, VA. --- The Community Dream Center (TCDC) board of directors announces we will host our second of three community meetings on May 15th at 5pm. This will be held at Mercy Crossing Church, which is located at 1978 Joseph Martin Highway In Martinsville, Virginia.

This meeting will share information about TCDC and the work we are doing to assist hurting people in and around Henry County. We will continue to share the vision of this work as we partner with other organizations, churches and individuals who want to make a difference in the lives of people here in our community.

Everyone is invited to attend. Please help us get the word out about this meeting and the work of The Community Dream Center. We seek to fill the gaps in services here in our community with the largest of those being a residence for homeless men. TCDC is a local organization modeled closely after the highly successful Los Angeles Dream Center. The Dream Center model has assisted people many different situations and has resulted in lowering the crime rate in the areas it has been located.

"The Community Dream Center has already begun to assist the people of Henry County and the surrounding area through providing meals, clothing and other benevolent needs," says Michael Harrison lead pastor of The Community Fellowship and founder of The Community Dream Center. "It is a honor to serve those who have needs that are not able to be met by other local groups."

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 ...

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. Jesus set the example we follow. He served. He valued and gave value to others. That is why we choose to serve. 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....
