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 ...

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....
