it's a great time to give!

Summer has begun.  We are excited about the things that happen around The Community Fellowship this time of the year.  That includes back2school and so much more.  As you go about vacation and family times don't forget to continue being faithful to your church.  We are each each Sunday and will miss you when you are gone.  You can continue to give at church, through the mail (PO Box 388, Collinsville, VA 24078) or online at THIS LINK.  Thank you for your faithfulness!

Sunday some thing awesome happened that you need to be part of.  One of our church family gave a $5,000 gift to our Vision Fund which is used for the new campus.  That gift was given with the understanding that it is a dollar for dollar matching gift.  In other words any money given this week is automatically doubled.  If you give $100, it becomes $200.  If you give $1,000, it is matched to $2,000.  Will you help us meet this challenge?  This summer we need $50,000 to come in so that we will have material for our work teams to use.  Pray for God to meet this need.  We are grateful for the blessing of this gift that becomes $10,000.  You can give online at THIS LINK and choose "vision fund" under accounts.

One last item ... often we are given opportunities to serve those in need.  This weekend was one such opportunity.  A deputy from our local sheriff's office directed a family to our church that is stranded in our community.  They only speak Italian.  Their minivan broke down and has been repaired, but it took all their money for the repairs.  Currently, this family with 3 small children is at a local hotel and will be raising money so that they can get home to Houston, Texas.  Please pray for this family, and help as you are led by God.

Next Sunday we begin a brand new series.  LOVE WINS will be the kickoff to our summer as we understand how much God loves us and how we can take the next steps to share God's love with others.  That really is the trademark of a great church, the love of God seen, felt, and shared with others.  There is so much more to come!

Please help us reach this dollar for dollar matching gift and the goal of $10,000.  Do all you can this week to demonstrate the love of God to our community and beyond.  We have experienced God, and we are about to take that fact to the next level.  Have a great week!


With GOD as my guide,

Pastor Michael Harrison

-- 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

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
