Surprise Birthday Party for Helen Joyce

Community family and friends!

This Saturday from 5 until 7pm at church there will be a special surprise birthday for Helen Joyce's 90th birthday. You are invited to celebrate with her family and our church family on this special occasion. Please see the flyer above for more details.

Also I would like to ask a favor. Our middle child, Ruth, has a birthday this week, and this is her first time away from home as she is at college. Would you send her a card? Let me know, and I will give you her address.

Thank you for blessing these two ladies.

We have four men going to the Emmaus Retreat this coming weekend: Bruce Elgin, Harry Rice, Doug Mosley and Kenny Koger. Please write them a card or short letter of encouragement. These cards need to be given to me or to Kasim Adams before noon this Thursday. Your card will bless these guys as they are part of this incredible experience.

Have a great week, and may each of us be able to demonstrate the love of God to our community and far beyond.

With GOD as my guide,
Pastor Michael Harrison
-- James 1:5

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....
