season of thanks, and a heart, too

Hello Community Family and Friends, 

November is upon us, and the season of the holidays is ready for us to jump in.  This Sunday we will begin a new series.  It is a "THANKFUL HEART".  In the next several weeks we will talk about how being thankful changes us and changes those around us.

I also ask you to join me and the Martinsville Chick-fil-A to feed the hungry in our community.  All you will need to do is go to Chick-fil-A and let a cashier know you want to purchase a meal for someone who is hungry.  It costs about $6.50 each.  This is a great way to help people right here in our community.

Our celebration of the holidays is going to be exciting, and it will come with some challenges.  Please be part of our 2015 Mission Offering which has begin.  Listen for more details of how this money will be used from Martinsville and Henry County to the ends of the earth.

You are invited to the first wedding at our new campus.  This Sunday following our Community Worship Debbie Cochram and Larry Wood will exchange marriage vows on the stage in our future auditorium.  It is going to be a great time for our church family.  Tours of the building will be given before and after the wedding.  You don't want to miss this, and everyone is invited.

I look forward to seeing each of you at worship this Sunday morning.  Thank you again for your kindness and love.  Make sure this weekend to demonstrate the love of God to our community and to the people you come in contact with.  Like last Sunday that love might just end in someone meeting Jesus for the very first time.

Have a great weekend.  See you soon!


With GOD as my guide

Pastor Michael Harrison

-- James 1:5

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 ...
