Announcement at church today

Dear Community Family and Friends -

In this morning's worship experience we announced that we have a building under contract for our church.  It is the former American Standard Building Systems on Commerce Drive in the city of Martinsville.  That is just off of VC Drive and Stultz Road.  It is approximately 22 acres and 140,000 square feet of buildings.  We hope to move through the process and close on the property around May 1st.

There is much to be done to prepare this building and property to become our church.  Please continue to pray that God would not only provide the money and resources needed but also the wisdom and passion to seek to touch more lives for him.

We are excited about all that God has ahead for us.  In the coming weeks we will keep you informed as to the progress and needs.  God really has blessed us, and the possibilities are wide open and huge.  This building and the vision we have will allow us to demonstrate the love of God to our community and to even more people than we have ever served before.

With GOD as my guide,

Pastor Michael Harrison
– James 1:5

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 ...

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....
