volunteer of the week BRUCE ELGIN

This week our “volunteer of the week” is Bruce Elgin!!!
 
Bruce Elgin, his wife Yvonne and their children have been a part of The Community Fellowship family for over 5 years.
 
This past summer Bruce took time off from his job so he could work with the Men on a Mission Team that donated their time to framing the walls and interior of our new campus.  This is customary of Bruce’s generosity as he is always supportive of missions, our church and furthering God’s Kingdom.
 
Bruce is serves on our Leadership Team and is over finances, and he is also a Key Leader in our church.  Key Leaders are a group of 3 Christians that seek the Lord in leading the life of our church.
 
During our B2S Ministry (back2school) Bruce is always on hand to help out however is needed.
 
Bruce is a natural encourager and blesses many in our church that turn to him for advice, guidance and prayer.  He often seeks people out to encourage them as well.
 
Some of the things Bruce is looking forward to are moving to the New Campus and watching the work that God is doing in our church and community.
 
In his spare time Bruce likes to spend time with his wife and their children, Amanda who is a senior at Longwood University and their son, Chris who attends Bassett High.  He also enjoys Redskins football and Nascar Racing…go Jr!
 
Bruce’s favorite Bible verse is Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.”
 
Our church family is, and has been, greatly blessed by Bruce Elgin.  We are proud and honored to recognize him as our Volunteer of the Week!

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....

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 ...
