pray for Gordon Hodges and his family

Dear Community family,

Please keep Gordon Hodges and his family in your prayers as his mom, Nancy Hodges, passed away Thursday afternoon. She has been sick for several months, but the last few weeks have been very good for her. Yesterday her breathing was not good, and she was taken to Eden Hospital where she passed away. No funeral arrangements have been made at this time, but we will share those with you when we get them. Please not only pray for Gordon and his family but write Gordon and Betsy at 599 Sedgefield Dr., Martinsville, VA 24112. Mrs. Hodges funeral will be at Norris Funeral home.

Continue to pray for Bruce Elgin's mom. She was moved to a rehab center at Lewis-Gale Hospital on Thursday. She is improving each day from the stroke she had.

Also continue to pray for Greg Walker as he is traveling to Minnesota at this time to find work.

I look forward to seeing each of you this weekend as we conclude our series of ALL IN. May God use us to demonstrate the love of God to our community and beyond this weekend.

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....
