COOKOUT this Sunday evening

It is time for a good old fashioned Community get together. This Sunday evening at 6pm on the back porch of our new campus we are having a COOKOUT. Everyone is invited to spend the evening together.

Bring hamburger patties and hotdogs that you can throw on the grill. Also bring the fixings like chips, beans, slaw and desserts. Buns and drinks will be provided by the church. We will also provide ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, cheese, tomato and lettuce.

Pass the word. Get ready for some fun. We will see you first for worship Sunday morning at 10:10am and then at the cookout at 6pm!

ALSO --- we are beginning to collect travel size toiletry items for homeless friends. Bring them through September 2nd.

ALSO --- remember that our REACH ministry provides a free community meal each Saturday evening at 5pm at the Martinsville Hotel. REACH is also putting on a special event at the Martinsville Farmers' market on Saturday, September 13th. Listen for more details.

FINALLY --- pray for our Nicaragua mission team that leaves one week from this Saturday. Pray for Jeannie, Betsy, George, Moriah, China, Megan, Kim, Tracy, Steve, Tina, Carolyn, and Pastor Michael.

See ya Sunday and do something before then to demonstrate the love of God to our community. Have a great weekend!

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....
