volunteer of the week SANDY WEAVER

This week’s volunteer of the week at The Community Fellowship is Sandy Weaver!!!

 

Sandy Weaver and her husband Brian live in Ridgeway and have been a part of The Community Fellowship family for a year.

 

During REACH Ministry’s outREACH Event in September, Sandy was a major contributor of the supplies needed to make that ministry a success.   She also supports Raceway Ministries ministries through donations and is active in fundraisers in the community.

 

Sandy volunteers in our back2school (B2S) event and is a Charter Member of the Make-A-Wish Foundation for Martinsville/Henry County.

 

Wanting to own her own business, Sandy prayed, studied God’s Word and sought confirmation.   While attending a ladies conference, Sandy had an opportunity to talk with Pastor Paula White who prayed with her and even gave her the name of the business that she was to start, “Memory Lane”.   This business is located in the Fieldale area and along with photos; Sandy rents tuxedos for all kinds of events.

 

In October Sandy had her photo booth set up on site to bless the families enjoying the Fall Festival that is held on the grounds of our church each year.  Many people that attended were excited to take advantage of that.  On Mother’s Day Sandy’s photo booth was at church capturing special memories for families.

 

Sandy is the manager of Hardee’s in Collinsville which is a Boddie-Noel company that she has been with for 16 years.  This is a Christian family based business where she has received several awards, but the one she is the most proud of is the company’s highest award called The Carlton-Noell Award that she received in 2011.

 

Sandy loves photography.  She feels it is her God given talent to capture a moment and have it live on.   She is very passionate about this and says, “Pictures are all we have to preserve our past.”   She also is a fan of Tony Stewart and loves music and cars of all kinds.

 

In her spare time Sandy loves to travel and hopes to go on a mission trip at some point.  She especially enjoys spending time with her husband and sons, Josh and Daniel.

 

Sandy believes that if this community’s businesses and leaders united together this area could not only recover but thrive.  Some things she would like to see happen in our church is for the New Campus to be up and running offering classes to increase and enhance people’s daily living skills.  She is a true believer that knowledge is power, and that if the world isn’t going to give it to the people who need it, the church ought to.  She feels that we are all God’s people and this is another way to live in God’s best.

 

One of Sandy’s favorite Scriptures is Psalm 145:19-21, “He will fulfill the desire of them that fear Him: He also will hear their cry, and will save them.  The Lord preserveth all them that love Him: but all the wicked will He destroy.  My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord and let all flesh bless His Holy Name for ever and ever.”

 

We are happy to announce and recognize Sandy Weaver as The Community Fellowship’s Volunteer of the Week!  Thank you Sandy for all of your hard work to serve others and demonstrate 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

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
