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!

The book is Forgotten God . This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into. All of it is within the Holy Spirit. Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people. It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about. And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts. We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things. It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share. For me C.S. Lewis is one of those. He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class. It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before. He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born. It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian. He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
