it's time to serve (Saturday is big)

Hello Community Family and Friends ---

This is a great time to be part of The Community Fellowship. Sunday will be the completion of our STAY POSITIVE series, and you don't want to miss it. We will discuss the strength of being confident in God. Make sure to be at church and bring a guest with you!

Saturday is our annual FREE Car Care Clinic for ladies, and there are still a few spots open for ladies to register. Simply call the church (276-647-8231) and share information about your car to get an appointment. VOLUNTEERS are needed to help with this event. Please contact Kasim Adams or Pastor Michael to help.

Saturday is also our monthly FREE Clothes Closet and Meal from 9am until noon. Volunteers are needed to help, and we have lots of clothes to share as well as a few surprises for those who join us. Help pass the word about this event.

Each and every Saturday we serve a FREE meal at the Martinsville Hotel at 5pm, and we are in need of some people to cook and to serve in the weeks ahead. There are several teams working in this ministry, but there are some spots that you could help with. Contact Sandy or Brian Weaver to be part of this great ministry.

Saturday from 5 to 8pm is also our next CRUISE IN at The Community. This is a fun time to look at cool cars and maybe even win a door prize. There will be a message and more. See Ricky Foster for more details, and we hope to see you there.

Remember that it is our goal to demonstrate the love of God to our community and beyond by meeting needs and sharing Jesus. Spend some time today sharing God's love with others, and I look forward to seeing you this coming weekend!

With GOD as my guide,

Pastor Michael

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan. His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God. Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st. The book is Forgotten God . This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into. All of it is within the Holy Spirit. Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people. It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about. And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts. We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things. It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share. For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.

Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class. It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before. He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born. It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian. He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
