don't miss the sweet stuff

Hello COMMUNITY family and friends!!!  Last Sunday was Easter, and it was awesome.  God is setting us up for what we are soon to know as MORE.  Join us in praying for MORE.  MORE lives to be changed.  MORE resources to share with others.  MORE experiences and sweet time with Jesus.

Before we head in to the weekend, we'd like to share with you some of the things you can be part of in the weeks to come.  None of us can do it all, but chose to serve.  It is gonna be good.

WORK DAY @ NEW CAMPUS

Each Saturday from 9am until about noon there will be people working at our new campus (700 Commerce Ct., Martinsville , VA) to prepare for our future as well for a mission team that is coming the last week of May to frame up our new facility.  Bring your work gloves, brooms, shovels, wheel barrels and more.  

COMMUNITY 101 BEGINS SUNDAY

There is room for more of you to be part of our membership and deeper understanding class.  If you wish to know more about your salvation and more about The Community Fellowship, this is the place for you.  It begins this Sunday and will happen for one hour after worship the next four weeks.  Lunch will be provided for those in the class.  Let us know you want to be a part by emailing Pastor Michael atmharrison@thecommunityfellowship.org.  This is always a great time of getting to know more people and growing closer to God.  This is also the class one must take to join the church.  Hope several of you will join us.

MOTHER'S DAY CAR CARE CLINIC

It will be Saturday, May 10th from 9am until noon.  That is the same time as our 2nd Saturday FREE Community Meal and Clothes Closet.  We will begin to take reservations this weekend and seek to serve 60 or more ladies with FREE OIL CHANGES and general diagnostics.  We need mechanics, helpers and folks willing to work.  We will also offer manicures and pedicures. That means we need some ladies who like to serve in this way.  Let us know this Sunday how you want to serve as we demonstrate the love of God to our community in this special way.

MISSION TEAM, MEMORIAL DAY WEEK

We are excited about the beginning of greater work at our new campus.  Memorial Day week we will have more than 60 workers converge on our community to begin the process of framing out the new campus, especially the children's and sanctuary areas.  Please pray for the things needed to help this happen.  Pray for finances and resources.  Pray for permission and permits.  Pray for our contractor, Kenny Locklear, and all the workers who will work before, during and after.  God really is setting us up for more.

WORK WITH OUR COMMUNITY KIDS

Would you like to help with preschool or children's ministry?  There is a place for you to help.  Please see Julie Harrison to let us know that you want to help our kids grow in Christ.  Write Julie atjmand3r@gmail.com to get involved.

THIS WEEKEND ... LET'S WORSHIP

This Sunday will be week 2 of our BROKEN series.  We will talk about how God takes us when we are broken and begins the healing process as well as uses us for His good.  God has never given up on us.  Don't give up either.  Invite someone to come with you to church this Sunday.  It all begins at 10:10am Sunday morning.  See you then!

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....
