hope4thehomeless5k run, Saturday, March 3rd

It is that time again. The 2012 and our 2nd annual 5k run/walk to benefit our work with the homeless and to educate our community is set. It will be Saturday, March 3rd at 10am. You can register online or download a form at  http://www.tcdc.info

Pass the word. Sponsors are also needed. Go to the same site for sponsor forms too.

In 2011 we raised over $10,000 for the cause of the serving the homeless in Martinsville and Henry County, Virginia, and we hope to raise much more and double participation this year. Since last year's event many people have been served through Citizens Against Family Violence (CAFV serves women) and The Community Dream Center (TCDC serves men and families).  These are the partner organizations for this event.

Want to register or sponsor the event? Got to http://www.tcdc.info or call us at 276-647-8231.  If you'd simply like to send support, write your check to STEP and mail it to TCDC, PO Box 388, Collinsville, VA 24078. You can also send gifts solely for the Dream Center by clicking the online giving link on the right side of this blog.

Thank you for your support as we are "reBuilding the Lives of Broken People" by meeting needs and sharing the hope Jesus gives.

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?"

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....
