get your taxes done FREE (if you live in Martinsville or Henry County, VA)

Dear Community Friends!!!

It is TAX time once again.  That statement might make you get a little stressed out.  Well, there are some folks in our community that want to help tax the stress out of this for you and your family.  Please take a look at the picture and information below.  I also want to encourage you as you possibly get your tax return to remember to tithe to your church and to use your resources as God leads you to do.  This is one tangible way that we "demonstrate the love of God to our community".  Read below, and I look forward to seeing you Sunday at we celebrate Jesus and have lots of us with our new "back in the day" series and 60's Sunday!

With GOD as my guide,

Pastor Michael Harrison


United Way is pleased to announce that we are offering the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program again this year. I am forwarding you all a copy of our Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program flyer and an Envelope Stuffer to post and distribute to your employees, clients and community partners. Each year the United Way of Henry County and Martinsville provides FREE Tax Preparation services to individuals and families with an AGI of $53,000 or less.

Last year the VITA program assisted in the preparation of over 1,800 tax returns; as a result local residents saved $370,000 in tax preparation fees and $2,132,000 in federal and state refunds were returned to Martinsville and the surrounding areas. The VITA team will prepare and e-file taxes for free if you have earned $53,000 or less in 2014. The walk-in site, located at 4 Liberty St. Martinsville, Va, will be open between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., Tuesday-Thursday and 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., Friday-Saturday or by appointment at other site locations starting January 30, 2015 and ending April 15, 2015. For a complete list of site locations and hours of operation, visit the website at www.unitedwayofhcm.org.

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) is a program United Way offers where professionally trained volunteers complete at least 30 hours through the IRS and pass basic and advanced level Internal Revenue Service tests to help the people in the community prepare taxes. The program expects to see an increase in the number of VITA prepared tax returns this year, which will increase community financial stability as well as benefit the local economy.

If you would like to request specific printed flyers, postcards or promotional materials, please email jdavis@unitedwayofhcm.org or call Joanie Davis at 276-403-5964. I am happy to print as many postcards as flyers you might need and deliver them to you.

I hope you will encourage people to take part of this great service. Our volunteers are excited to help!

Thank 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....
