help prepare for back2school



We are one week away from the best back2school event ever.  There are still LOTS of things that need to happen to make this event happen.  Can you be a big help by working in one or more of these ways!
STUFF THE BUS is Friday and Saturday, and this is when we go to Walmart to share this project with people from our community.  We hand out flyers and ask people to buy school supplies to help.  Your help is needed especially on Friday.  Can you help?  (Our partners from Mercy Crossing will be working at Big Lots, and our partners from Mt. Calvary will be at Sam’s and Walmart in Danville).  Pray for success!
ADOPT A STUDENT is this Sunday as we ask our family and friends to help with back2school by adopting one or more students.  It costs $18 per student, and we ask that you join us.  Give online by going to this website https://e-giving.org/egivinglogin.asp.  You can also give at church on Sunday or mail your check to TCF back2school, PO Box 388, Collinsville, VA 24078.
MILK SHAKE FUND RAISER at CHICK-FIL-A will be Wednesday, August 1st.  We will receive 50% of the proceeds from all Milk Shake sales on this day.  Go by the restaurant in the mall and get one.  Tell your friends.  This is awesome, and we are grateful for their help!
VOLUNTEER TRAINING is set for Thursday, August 2nd at 6:30pm.  All our volunteers are asked to attend this special training, and this is when you will receive your t-shirt and your team member assignment.  It takes lots of people to make this happen.
AND THERE IS MORE that you can do to help this event happen.  Volunteers are needed each day between now and next Saturday.  If you can help at anytime, please call the church at 276-647-8231 or email us at info@thecommunityfellowship.  Thank you for meeting a need and making a difference by touching the lives of students in our community.
Don’t forget about worship this Sunday at 10:10am at The Community Fellowship.  We continue our series called “Forgotten Virtues”, and we will talk about gratitude.  See you soon.  Don’t forget to demonstrate the love of God to your community by serving the people around you.  See you soon!

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
