prayer walk, prepare for 2014 & give

Can you believe that 2014 is almost here? It is amazing to look back over the past twelve months at all God has done at and through The Community Fellowship. Thank you for the part you have played to make this a reality.

Please join Pastor Michael, church leaders and many from The Community in a PRAYER WALK on New Years Day, January 1st, at 3:30pm at our new campus. That is a change in time from our normal 5:50 prayer walk that takes place each Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Please pass this invitation on to others in our community that know about the work we are doing to serve those in our community. Our new campus is located at 700 Commerce Court in Martinsville. We will walk around the campus 7 (yes that is 7 like the children of Israel did around Jericho) beginning at 3:30 Wednesday afternoon. Our prayer is asking God to give us the resources to move into this campus and to be able to impact more people as we demonstrate the love of God to our community and beyond. Join us for this awesome time of prayer and excitement in the life of our church and community.

With 2014 almost here that means a new year and a new theme for the year. The Community Fellowship’s 2014 theme is ALL IN, and our prayer is that more people will give of their time and resources to help us serve others. This Sunday will kick off the new theme. There are places for you to serve in our ministry. One of those is in a “Winter Homeless Shelter” that will open in Martinsville in the next few weeks. Volunteers are in the homeless, feeding, clothing and all ministries of the church. How would you like to serve?

As the year ends we understand that well over 13,000 have been served through our ministries, and because we are a non-profit 501(c)3 organization all donations are tax deductible. Please consider giving an end of the year gift by clicking on the button below or by sending a donation to PO Box 388, Collinsville, VA 24078 before midnight on December 31st:

Thank you for being part of The Community Fellowship family. May God bless you and your family as you seek Him for a great 2014. We look forward to seeing 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 ...

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....
