it's back2school time

We are only 3 days away from back2school 2011, and this is going to be our best year ever.  1,078 students have signed up to be part of this event and will be served by our awesome people.  Exciting times for sure.

Don't forget that this Sunday's worship at 10:10am is gonna be awesome.  We will have special guests and lots and LOTS of celebration.  Pastor Michael will finish our FEARLESS series talking about as fear leaves hope and courage fill that space.  Pray that God would use this time.

Here are the happenings and notes for the rest of this week:

  • Thursday, 7pm --- volunteer training, and this is an important time for all our team of back2school volunteers.  if you can be here, please do.  Shirts, jobs and more will be given out.
  • Saturday, 6:30am --- the BIG day for back2school 2011.  Yes.  It is 6:30am that our team members need to arrive.  But if you need to help later in the day, that is OK.

If you have questions, need info or want to sign up to help, please call the church Thursday or Friday at 276-647-8231 or email info@thecommunityfellowship.org

Here are some of the last minute items that we need (there are others but here are the ones we know about):

  • box fans.  If you have a box fan or a fan on a stand, please bring it with you Thursday or bring it by the church before Saturday.
  • stools with arm rests.  These will be for the people getting haircuts, and we could use several more.
  • volunteers.  It will take 225 or more volunteers to make Saturday a success.  Let us know you are coming.
  • PRAY.  This is the most important and is why it is last.  Don't forget to PRAY.  Pray for those we will serve and their families.  PRAY for our workers.  PRAISE God for all He is going to do.

Our future is bright.  It is brighter as we chose to serve others.  Keep on, and thank you for being part of The Community family!!!

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....

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 ...
