#back2school is almost here

Mark 10:13  CEB

People were bringing children to Jesus so that he would bless them…

 

This is one of the greatest weeks of the year as we celebrate the children of our community through our #back2school outreach.  This will be our 8th year, and there are 1,450 students registered to be blessed at the 4 churches serving this year (Fairway Baptist, Mercy Crossing, Mt. Calvary PH, and The Community Fellowship).

 

These children will hear the Gospel of how Jesus will change their lives and will be reminded that they have great potential.  What an incredible thing it is to bless children!  Just like the verse above, Jesus lived out the blessings.  We can do the same.

 

Pray for the students we will serve that God will change many lives and many families.  Some do not go to church.  Some do go to church.  But each and every child is important to God.

 

At 1:30 on Saturday afternoon at The Community Fellowship we will serve students who are not registered as long as supplies last.  Please help us pass this information and invite to those who need it.

 

Thank you to all who have given, served and worked hard to make back2school incredible.  Please spend some time each day praying for all the aspects of this awesome event.  I cannot wait to share the stories that will come our of this event.

 

 

NOTE:  Thank you for praying for our back2school event that is this coming weekend, and ask God to provide what is needed, including all the shoes.

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....
