volunteer of the week KAREN ORR

This week we honor Karen Orr as The Community Fellowship’s Volunteer of the Week.

 

Karen Orr has began regularly attending The Community Fellowship about one year ago.

 

She has served in our back2school ministry for 5 years washing the children’s feet and having the opportunity to talk with, pray over and encourage them.

 

Karen helped our church serve meals to the homeless the 3rd Sunday of each month in Roanoke at the Acts 2 Mission when we were learning how to work with the homeless and having a feeding ministry.

 

When her schedule allows, she helps with the 2nd Saturday meal the church serves each month during our community Clothes Closet.

 

This summer Karen volunteered at the Woodmen of the World event the church sponsored in Fieldale and was a blessing to everyone she encountered there as she loves people and she loves to help others. 

 

In her spare time Karen enjoys going to ladies conferences as well as going to see her Tar Heels play basketball.  She also loves reading and studying God’s Word. 

 

Karen says that what drew her to The Community Fellowship Church is the heart Pastor Michael has for the homeless and the needy and the many areas there are to serve others here.

 

One of Karen’s favorite Bible verses is Joshua 24:14 (KJV) “Choose you this day whom ye will serve, but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

 

We are honored to celebrate Karen Orr as our Volunteer of the Week! Thank you, Karen, for all you do to serve others and show the love of God to, not only our community, but to everyone around you!

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

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look

Day 8 in Cuba

We have just come off and incredible weekend, and it is day 8 of the mission trip in Cuba.  Thank you to all who have been praying for this trip, the mission team and the impact it will have on those we serve.   Please don’t stop praying. Last week Alex and I served with a mission team in the mountains of southern Cuba.  There were several challenges, but God gave us safety, provision and opportunity to serve some of the sweetest people I have ever met.  No running water… sporadic electricity generated by a small, logo dammed up river, no transportation other than animals, limited food sources and more.  These people love the Lord and sharing their faith with others. Over the weekend we made our way back to Havana.  On Friday our vehicle broke down leaving us on the side of the road for several hours.  We then boarded a bus and rode 14 hours.  We arrived safely and even got some rest. Sunday was so, so good.  We visited two partner churches.  In the morning we were with one church that
