help homeless friends in Martinsville and Henry County

friends of the homeless in Martinsville and Henry County!

A few months ago we registered with KROGER for their rewards program.  This morning we received notice that 16 families used their rewards cards for us, and in turn we will receive a check for over $100.  That allows us to serve more homeless friends.  This is a WIN for sure.  

Therefore, I ask you to post this information (or share it however you can).  Simple go to www.krogercommunityrewards.com and register your rewards card by choosing The Community Dream Center.  It is a simple way to get resources to help those we want to make a difference with.

Also next Tuesday, March 31st at 7pm at the Martinsville Salvation Army there will be a celebration banquet for the success of the Martinsville Winter / warming Shelter.  You are invited to attend if you took part in this effort, but we need you to RSVP if you haven't already.  Let me know.  Continue to pray for a permanent homeless shelter for men and families in our area.  I believe this will happen.

Have a great day and thank you for your help in serving the homeless in our community!


-- James 1:5

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....
