plenty of socks!!!! lots more needs!!!!

Hey COMMUNITY family

I am excited to let you know that we have plenty of socks. YES. We have all we need, but there are other needs that we continue to take care of. The biggest is praying. Pray for the event, the students, the volunteers and for all of it. Gonna be awesome.

We continue to register students. There is plenty of room left for students to register, and they can by calling the church at 276-647-8231. We will take these registrations through 3pm on Tuesday. ALSO we will be allowing people who have not registered to come at 1pm on Saturday, August 3rd to take part in the event, and we will share our supplies and shoes as long as they last. Pass the word.

Volunteers are still needed. Tomorrow morning, Monday July 22nd, we will be unpacking the buses at our warehouse at 242 Franklin Street in Uptown Martinsville. It begins at 9am, and please join in if you can help. Volunteers are needed all week in our clothes closet at church. If you haven't signed up to serve, send an email at info@thecommunityfellowship.org or call the church.

These is much more to share, but I will stop there. This really is going to be a great time for our church family. It is also great for the 6 churches that have chosen to impact their community. What a blessing for us to join with others to demonstrate the love of God to our community across Bassett, Martinsville, Collinsville, Axton and Danville. God is good ... all the time.

Thank you for serving, sharing and being God's people. There is more to come!

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....
