volunteers of the week MISSION TO MARTINSVILLE TEAM

This week's volunteers of the week at The Community Fellowship are the members of the MISSION TO MARTINSVILLE team!!!

Last week we has the honor to host a special mission working at the Community Fellowship's new campus. Students from 3 churches joined forces to make a difference in our community by working at our building as well as leading a backyard Bible club at a local Martinsville park.

Students from New Life Community Church, Christ Church and Hope Presbyterian Church spent four days hanging sheetrock, putting in insolation, busting up concrete, getting rid of old materials and more. More than 30 middle school, high school and college students took part in the work with their leaders. We want to say thank you to Jeff Mitchum, Tim Bredamus and Bryan Keith led their students to accomplish much.

God showed up and used these people to bless our church family with more than $40,000 of volunteer labor. This past Sunday night the Mission to Martinsville team gathered to share testimonies and celebrate what God did during the work. Students shared how God brought this team together as they learned how to better "serve others".

The Community Fellowship offers a huge THANK YOU to the Mission to Martinsville team for being awesome, and we are proud to have you all as our Volunteers of the Week!

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....

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 ...
