BIG Sunday @ The Community

We have moved into a new season at church. Thanks go to everyone who helped with Raceway Ministries last weekend as well as with the family night on Halloween. Lots of people were served.

This Sunday we complete our CHASE THE LION series, and we will be challenged to take the next step in chasing our personal lion and even our lion as a church. We've never been in a better position to meet needs in our community.

A couple weeks ago over 50 people from The Community made personal commitments to support The Community Dream Center each month. Those commitments totaled more than $1,400 per month. For our key leaders, that was a HUGE statement that demonstrates how blessed we are. It also spoke volumes about the fact that we are "in this together". We are excited about the future, and we pray that God is helping you see where you fit in to serve and make a difference.

Also we want to remind you to CHANGE YOUR CLOCK this Saturday night before you go to bed. It is already that time of the year, but we will get 1 more hour to sleep.

A team of 5 people are leaving next week for the Los Angeles Dream Center, and we ask that you pray for Donna, Milette, Brett, Andy Hall and Pastor Michael to serve, learn and bring back more insight to help our Dream Center get off the ground. Here this well: we've never been so close to securing a building for the Dream Center. Keep on praying for this to be a reality.

We appreciate you and your commitment to follow Jesus. Let's continue making a difference in our community and beyond. We have great days ahead of 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....
