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.

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.

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...
