weekend FULL of opportunities at The Community

Community family and friends

I hope you are having a great week and preparing for the weekend. We all love the weekend. Admit it. Well, this weekend is full of opportunities to be blessed and to be a blessing. Thought I would share them with you.

First, this Sunday we begin a new 6 week series called STAY POSITIVE. Everything from how we live to how we give. God calls us to be encouraged and to be encouragers. Join in for the teaching and worship.

Second, this Saturday evening from 5 to 8pm is our first CRUISE IN @ The Community. Cool cars, trucks and motorcycles will be on display. Lots of time to look, share and enjoy great people. There will also be food and more. All the money donated will go to our Vision Fund to finish the new campus. This will be an every 2nd Saturday evening event through the warmer months.

Third, Saturday morning from 8 until noon is a WORK DAY AT THE NEW CAMPUS. It will be a little chilly, but there is plenty to do and lots you can help with. Kasim Adams will lead this time of working. If you have never seen the new building or haven’t seen it in a while, here is another chance to go see. Our youth will be serving this day too!

Fourth and finally, this is our 2nd Saturday FREE meal and Clothes Closet from 9am until noon. Volunteers are needed and should arrive at 8:30. There will also be special guests in the areas of health and family encouragement. Extra volunteers are needed. Please help pass the word about this monthly event, and remember next month will be our annual Mother’s Day outreach for women!

Whew, that is a lot, but I am excited for what is coming. Plus, my dad is headed to spend the weekend with my family and with our church family. I hope to see you this weekend as we demonstrate the love of God to our community and beyond.

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 ...
