volunteer of the week: ASHLEY CROSS

This is the first edition of The Community Fellowship's "Volunteer of the Week" that will be shared each Wednesday.  This week we honor Ashley Cross!!!

 

Ashley Cross and her family have been a part of The Community Fellowship for three years. During that time, Ashley has been a strong support in the Clothes Closet ministry, joyfully giving her time, talent and genuine passion for helping others. Though Ashley has a full time job at Najjar's Pizza that she loves and calls, "The best job ever" she typically works many hours in the Clothes Closet before going to work each day.

 

While volunteering through the week, Ashley will also help to get emergency food boxes for those in need and have come to the church for help. She is a great encourager and blesses others not only by helping with their need for food or clothes, she is also the friendly, positive point of contact they remember after visiting our outreach ministries.

 

Often, Ashley will spend her Friday mornings helping to prepare the church for our 2nd Saturday Clothes Closet Ministry where the community can come in and receive free clothes, miscellaneous items and
a hot meal. During the ministry she is typically seen helping people find the items they need, assisting them by carrying their choices to check out, as well as to their cars.

 

Ashley also volunteers in children's ministries in our church on Sunday mornings. She is a valued assistant in those ministries where she is greatly appreciated and loved by the adults she serves with as well as the children she teaches and ministers to.

 

Our church motto is "demonstrating the love of God to our community", and Ashley exemplifies this beautifully in every area of ministry that she is involved in. It is with great joy that we recognize Ashley Cross as our first Volunteer of the Week at The Community Fellowship!

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....
