volunteer of the week ALL WHO SERVE!!!

This week’s volunteer of the week at The Community Fellowship are all those who chose to serve!!!

 

One person cannot do it all.  It takes all of us.  And we want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all who have given, served, shared, sacrificed, loved, taught, sang, painted nails, changed oil, hammered nails, changed diapers, cut grass, counseled, counted, prayed… and did the hundred million things that we have been able to do to bless others along the way!

 

Proverbs 3:27  NLT

Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when it’s in your power to help them.

 

As Matthew Barnett said in his book Misfits Welcome often we get the attitude of “we have to serve” when God wants to remind us that “we get to serve”.  It is an honor, a privilege to serve people in the name of Jesus.

 

Serving is in our DNA at The Community Fellowship.  We chose to serve so that we can win the right to share Jesus with the people we serve.  By meeting needs and helping others we are showing the love of Christ, but you don’t have to be part of our church to show God’s love.  In fact there are many people who serve through The Community Fellowship who do not go to church here.

 

We are grateful for those inside and outside the church who serve, and we believe that is our call from God to raise up more people who will serve and shine for Jesus.  You have served.  You know people who want to serve and some who have served.  Thank God for all those who have served God through the work of The Community…

Thank you for serving Jesus through His church.  Thank you for making a difference in the lives of people around our community and beyond.  May God use us to make an even bigger impact and difference in the lives of hungry, hurting and homeless people that we encounter!

 

1 Peter 4:10  NLT

God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.

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 ...
