Volunteers are needed to help with this event.  Training for volunteers will begin at 8am.  There are many things that need to be done to help with this event.  if you have any questions, please e-mailinfo@thecommunityfellowship.org.  Volunteers will received a t-shirt.  Thank you ahead of time for your time.

We also want to thank all our sponsors.  Watch early next week for a list of the individuals and businesses who have made this event possible.  That includes the 150 plus people already registered (we are hearing from lots more people who will register the morning of the 5k).  Help us reach more people to be part of this event.  Info can be found at www.tcdc.info.

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?"
