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

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
