July at The Community

Dear Community family and friends

July is going to be a busy month at The Community, and it is also going to offer us some opportunities for serving, worshipping and more.

Tomorrow I will begin a new sermon series called RETURN. This is our theme for 2016 as well as our July sermon and worship series. This Sunday we will examine how our faith and country intersect and how we can and must make a difference in our community and beyond. In the coming weeks we will inspect the various ways God calls us to return to life connected to Him.

Also this month we will be examining some different aspects or ways churches worship. Some you will like. Some you may like less. Come ready to pray, worship and learn. This is going to be good.

back2school is in full swing, and your help is needed for many of the pieces. Be listening for those opportunities. Registration dates are the 16th and the 26th. Pack the bus is the weekend of July 16th. Get ready. This is going to be a great.

I look forward to seeing many of you in the morning and in the days to come. I pray that will chooses many ways to demonstrate the love of God to our community in the days and weeks ahead.

With GOD as my guide,

Pastor Michael Harrison

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....
