OUR Plan for CHRISTMAS blessing

Hello Community family and friends

I trust you are well.  It is exciting to know that the roof on our office building is nearing completion, and I want to thank all those who gave to make this happen.  Keep on giving through our regular offering and the vision fund.

We kick off our Christmas mission offering as well.  This is the time, through December 31, that gifts are given to share Jesus with the world as Acts 1:8 says.  Some stays here at home, and this offering stretches to the ends of the earth.  Give as you can.  We will announce our goal soon.

This Sunday we have special guests joining.  The Silent Servants led by Teri Shumate will share their incredible ministry of music and drama with us.  I will be preaching the 3rd message of our 10th birthday celebration too.  Join in Sunday at 10:10am, and bring someone with you that doesn't normally attend church.

Two projects on in the works for the Christmas season.  Your help is needed with both...

First, we will be serving foster children in our community who do not receive gifts in other ways.  At church this Sunday please pick up the cards with the information and return your gifts around December 12.  We also have an Angel Tree from Salvation Army at church.  Please help these children experience the joy of Christmas.

Second, we will be blessed Collinsville Primary and John Redd Smith Elementary School by adopting their workers to send Christmas cards and deliver a meal.  Sign up this Sunday to be a blessing to these special school workers.

May God use each of us to demonstrate the love of God to our community and beyond today and this Christmas season.  I look forward to seeing you on Sunday!

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 ...
