from Pastor Michael

My community family and friends,

I sure have missed many of you as the snow kept you guys away last week.  Just wanted to pass on some love and a bit of encouragement.

This Sunday we will finish our series called LIES.  I'm excited to share what's on my heart, and I hope you are excited to come worship and to interact with the message too.  Valentine's day is a couple weeks away which means we will talk about love in the coming weeks.

If you have never taken the Community 101, the coming weeks will offer you this opportunity.  We will also celebrate baptism toward the end of the month of February.  The weeks ahead are full of great things!

A HUGE THANK YOU to all those who have taken part in our Challenge to raise $25,000 for our Vision Fund and the roof on the office building at the new campus.  We are above $10,000 at present.  Please consider giving if you haven't yet.  I have noticed that some of our folks have been giving to the Vision Fund and not the general offering.  This is tough as it puts us low in the funds we need for daily operations of the church.  Continue to be faithful, and remember that you can give online by clicking THIS LINK, you can mail your gift to the church or give on Sunday.

We have lots of opportunities to share our faith and demonstrate the love of God by meeting needs, stopping to pray, serving in various ways and simply going out of your way to be kind to those you come in contact with.  Pray for the Winter Warming Shelter, our Saturday evening REACH ministry meals, upcoming clothes closet and more that is coming us.

I look forward to seeing you all on Sunday.  Spend some extra time with God as we prepare for Worship and prepare to serve even more.  2016 is off and running.  One month down.  Eleven more to go!

With GOD as my guide,

PASTOR MICHAEL

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

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look

Day 8 in Cuba

We have just come off and incredible weekend, and it is day 8 of the mission trip in Cuba.  Thank you to all who have been praying for this trip, the mission team and the impact it will have on those we serve.   Please don’t stop praying. Last week Alex and I served with a mission team in the mountains of southern Cuba.  There were several challenges, but God gave us safety, provision and opportunity to serve some of the sweetest people I have ever met.  No running water… sporadic electricity generated by a small, logo dammed up river, no transportation other than animals, limited food sources and more.  These people love the Lord and sharing their faith with others. Over the weekend we made our way back to Havana.  On Friday our vehicle broke down leaving us on the side of the road for several hours.  We then boarded a bus and rode 14 hours.  We arrived safely and even got some rest. Sunday was so, so good.  We visited two partner churches.  In the morning we were with one church that
