back2school 2016

It is time to plan for a great year for back2school 2016. To make this happen our first planning meeting will be on Thursday, April 7th at The Community Fellowship and at 7pm. There is much to do in the next few months months, and your help is needed.

We would all like to see more students served and more churches involved. Pass this information on to others as well as invite them to be part of the planning.

back2school 2016 will take place on Saturday, August 6th. As you know the other activities to prepare for the event will be for the most part during the month of July. We will have planning meetings each month.

Each person is asked to prepare to make a commitment as soon as possible as to how you and your church would like to be involved this year. Please let me know if you would like more information or how I can help

Thank you for helping to serve students. back2school 2016 is going to be awesome!

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.

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 ...
