volunteer of the week JOAN NORMAN

This week we are very excited to introduce Joan Norman as our Volunteer of the Week at The Community Fellowship!

 

Joan enjoys doing crafts and all of her own yard work as well as providing carpool for her grandchildren.  During the week she generously volunteers her time to working in our Clothes Closet getting it prepared for our 2nd Saturday free community meal and clothing give away each month.  She also works tirelessly every summer, alongside many of her 13 grandchildren, getting us ready for the B2S (back2school) ministry when we, along with other area churches, provide new shoes, book bags, socks, school supplies, haircuts and clothing to children preparing to go back to school.

 

A favorite Scripture for Joan is Isaiah 54:17 But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you.  These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the LORD; their vindication will come from me.  I, the LORD, have spoken!

 

Joan is quick to give God all the glory for her having been healed of Cancer two different times.  She is a powerful witness and believer in and of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  It is with the utmost gratitude and appreciation that we thank Joan for her example and for all she brings to The Community Fellowship.  We are extremely blessed by her willingness to help and her generosity to others!

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 ...
