this weekend @ The Community

info from The Community for the week of Oct 19, 2011

What is going on in your life this week?  Unless you are sticking your head in the sand like an ostrich, there is bound to be a lot going on in your life.

This Sunday marks 3 weeks left in our CHASE THE LION series, and we will be talking about taking risks.  The biggest risk of all is to take no risk.  Think about that.  Your biggest success, your most exciting times may be hiding behind your biggest fear.  Taking some risk may unlock that success for you.

Join us this Sunday at The Community at 10:10am, and invite someone to come with you.  It is sure to be an awesome day that may change your life.  Jesus is still in that business, you know.

Our 4th Saturday FREE community meal is this weekend.  Our food outreach leader, Shannon, has asked for people to donate desserts for this outreach time.  Volunteers need to arrive before 3:30.  Pass the word and share with people who are hungry and in need.

Next weekend is the NASCAR race here in Martinsville.  Volunteers for Raceway Ministries Martinsville are needed to serve Friday, Saturday and Sunday with the ADA golf carts, passing our tracts and refreshments as well as helping with worship services.  Please let Lee Hobbs know you want to be part.

Monday, October 31st will be our Family Fun Night in partnership with BTW21 television station.  There will be inflatables for the kids as well as the climbing wall, fire trucks and police cars and so much more.  We will be serving hotdogs to those who attend, and we will have tuck-or-treat.  That means we need lots and LOTS and LOTS of candy.  Everyone needs to bring a couple bags of candy with them to church this weekend.  If you have questions, please talk with our event coordinator, Michelle Kasey.  Last year over a thousand people showed up for this great event.  We will need lots of volunteers too.

There are people all around us that we can demonstrate the love of God to our community by servicing and being kind.  This weekend go out of your way to show God's love to someone.  We look forward to seeing you at The Community.

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
