food, clothes & 3.1 miles

This Saturday is our 2nd Saturday FREE COMMUNITY MEAL and CLOTHES CLOSET and another opportunity to demonstrate the love of God to our community by meeting needs and sharing Jesus with the people we meet.

Pass the word to those in need. Volunteer and be there at 8:30am. Donate clothes. Pray that lives will be changed by the grace of God.

Matthew 25:35-36 (NLT)
35 For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. 36 I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.'

Let me also remind you that we will be honoring LEON WHITE this Sunday at church. Wear your favorite Christian or church t-shirt. This is a surprise for Leon. He recently learned that he has bone cancer, and Leon has been part of our church family for several years.

So what does 3.1 miles have to do with this Sunday or our outreaches? Each year through a partnership with our Dream Center and Citizens Against Family Violence we put on the HOPE4THEHOMELESS5k run/walk that will take place on Saturday, March 2nd at 10am. Your help is needed to have this a success event to raise money to helpless the homeless in our community. Attached of this post are 2 links. The first is a sponsor form as we are asking businesses and individuals to support this event with a donation. Please pass this on to people you know would like to help. The second attachment is the form to register to run or walk the 3.1 miles (5k) of the event. Would you consider being a part by walking or volunteering? Working together we will make a difference in this community.

There ya go. Help us serve our community. There are plenty of people who are hungry, hurting or homeless who need to see and hear about the hope that Jesus gives. I look forward to seeing you this weekend as we worship on Sunday at 10:10am, serve on Saturday and prepare for even more impact in this community. See you soon!

With GOD as my guide,

Pastor Michael Harrison

wash feet, sharing hope

John 13:4-5,14 NLT So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. 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....

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 ...
