opportunities at The Community

News from The Community Fellowship, April 27, 2012

Greetings from The Community as we are well into the spring season, a great time, for our church family to grow closer to God and to each others.  There are some opportunities we don't want you to miss.

4th SATURDAY FREE COMMUNITY MEAL

This Saturday beginning at 4pm is our community meal.  Please pass word to those who would be blessed by this meal.  Volunteers are needed and should arrive at 3:30.  Please bring desserts.

the LABELS series

We continue our LABELS series this weekend at church and have already seen God do some tremendous things in the lives of people as we put away the wrong labels we've believed and put on and held on to the labels that are true.  Invite some one to come with you this Sunday at 10:10am as we talk about the lie that we, or anyone, is worthless.

MARRIAGE ENRICHMENT

Another session of this awesome marriage class begins this Saturday and will last the next 8 weeks.  Did we mention it is FREE.  If you are married, single, engaged or want better relationship, this opportunity is for you.  We are partnering with the Marriage Alliance of Central Virginia, the Black Family Preservation Group and Mount Sinai Church in Martinsville.  It is from 6 to 8:30pm the beginning this Saturday.  Child care can be provided.  A great dinner each Saturday ... how about a date night the next 8 weeks?  To get involved call 276-883-2621 or email Sharon at director@blackfamilies.org.

COMMUNITY GROUPS (small groups re-invented)

This Sunday you will be invited to join a community group for next five weeks as we seek God and get to know each other betters.  Several of our church folks have committed to lead these awesome groups, and they will meet each week.  Different nights and times are offered.  Listen for details on Sunday morning or emailinfo@thecommunityfellowship.org for more information now.  Join a COMMUNITY GROUP this Sunday!!!

MOTHER'S DAY

Yep.  Just over 2 weeks away is Mother's Day, and we will once again offer our FREE MOTHER'S DAY CAR CARE CLINIC where we change the oil and do general diagnostics on mother's cars.  We WILL be offered seated chair massages given by Heather Morrill as well.  Sign ups will begin this weekend.  Volunteers are needed.  See Kasim Adams or call the church at 276-647-8231 for more information.

God called our church to demonstrate the love of God to our community, and these activities and more are doing that as well as pointing people to a life of abundance in Jesus.  Please pray that God would use us to help people find meaning and healing in life.

For more information about The Community Fellowship or The Community Dream Center call 276-647-8231 or email info@thecommunityfellowhsip.org.  If you would like to make a donation right now, click RIGHT HERE.  Thank you for allowing us to share with you!

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan.  His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God.  Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st.  The book is Forgotten God .   This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into.  All of it is within the Holy Spirit.  Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people.  It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about.   And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts.  We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things.  It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share.  For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.  He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class.  It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before.  He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born.  It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian.  He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
