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!

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan. His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God. Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st. The book is Forgotten God . This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into. All of it is within the Holy Spirit. Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people. It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about. And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts. We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things. It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share. For me C.S. Lewis is one of those. He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class. It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before. He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born. It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian. He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
