back2school and a mission team

Hey Community family and friends!

Happy 4th of July to each of you.  This is a busy time as summer keeps us hopping with back2school and our new campus.

This week we will be going door to door promoting back2school.  Listen for more details via Facebook and at worship Sunday morning.  Some people will be going out this coming Tuesday through Friday.  

Monday night is the Martinsville Mustangs game that will be promoting back2school.  Come out to the game, have lots of fun and talk about back2school.

Next Saturday, July 11th, is the first registration day for back2school.  For more information see Betsy Hodges or Adrienne Hubbard.  Lots of help will be needed as this is also our regular FREE community meal and clothes closet.  Volunteers arrive at 8:30 as the registration and outreach is from 9am until noon.

Our next mission team working on the new campus will arrive next Sunday.  They will be working Monday through Friday, July 13 through 17, and we invite as many people from The Community to come out and work as well.  Next Sunday evening at 6pm there will be a meal and celebration time on the back porch of our new campus.  Spaghetti and salad will be provided.  Bring desserts and drinks.  For more information about the new campus see Kasim Adams.  For information on the meal see Cindy Adams.

Join us for worship this Sunday as we will be sharing some things about our Spanish worship service and those who serve in that area.  Remember to demonstrate the love of God to our community and beyond as often as you can.  See you soon!

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....
