volunteer of the week TERRI HENSLEY

The volunteer of the week at The Community Fellowship is Terri Hensley!!!

 

Terri Hensley has been a part of The Community Fellowship Family for 3 years.

 

Through the week Terri is works as our Receptionist and is the first point of contact between us and the people that come to the church for assistance.  She regularly helps those in need by giving food boxes to those hungry as well as being a natural encourager to the many people that she encounters.  She often unloads donations of food, clothing and household items that are given to the church as well as sorts and displays the clothing, arranges the food, witnesses about our Lord and Savior, Jesus and leads others to Salvation by their accepting Christ.

 

Terri was a volunteer in the Clothes Closet for over a year and is now the Director of our Clothes Closet ministry overseeing the volunteers that assist in that ministry.  During the B2S (back2school) Ministry Terri leads of the Clothing Area making sure that the children shopping were able to find clothes that they wanted and were excited to be getting. 

 

Over the summer, Terri led an outreach ministry with Woodmen of the World in Fieldale where all donations were given to our Vision Fund for building materials at our new campus.

 

Recently during the Fall Festival Terri was on hand making and giving out popcorn, and she was a big help in the cleanup that took place after that event.

 

In her spare time Terri enjoys spending time with her parents, gardening, camping, fishing (whether she catches anything or not), and she especially cherishes Monday dinners with her daughters Ashley and Audrey. 

 

Each day Terri looks forward to getting home to the only male in her life that loves her unconditionally, her dog Otis, who is a rescue dog.  She says she thanks God for him every day and loves the evenings when he shows how much he loves her by jumping on her till she sits down and then pounces on her “licking her to death” and nibbling on her nose and lips.

 

Terri believes that balanced Christians are realistic, tolerant people, patient with those who disagree.  They uphold dignity of others, refusing to put them down.  She strives to live by Scripture, Philippians 2:3 “Consider others better than yourselves.”  Another favorite Scripture of Terri’s is Mark 9:23 “All things are possible if you Believe!”

 

We are greatly honored and excited to recognize Terri Hensley as our Community Fellowship Volunteer of the Week!  Thank you, Terri, for going the extra miles to show the love of God to our community!

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....
