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 ...

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....
