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.

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
