serve this Saturday

Dear Community Family and Friends

This is a busy time in the life of our church as we move toward Easter (next week), but we are geared up to serve this weekend.  Join me in serving in the church and serving our community.

First, we have a great mission team working at our new campus this week.  They will begin work on Saturday morning about 8:30am.  Would you consider coming to help with all the items they are pushing us forward?  This has been a great blessing.

Second, this is our 2nd Saturday FREE community meal and clothes closet.  Volunteers are asked to arrive at 8:30am, and plenty of people are needed.  Please consider helping with this monthly project.

Third, our youth will be hosting a LuLaRoe BINGO Fundraiser.  Youth and those serving are asked to arrive around 4pm.  Bingo will begin around 6pm.  Please help our students prepare for camp.

Fourth, each Saturday evening we serve a free meal in Uptown Martinsville.  Often we need extra cooks or servers.  If you would like to help sometime, please contact Brian or Sandy Weaver.

Don't forget that next weekend is Easter.  Be inviting people to join us for worship Easter Sunday morning at 10:10am.  We will be hosting a special event for kids and families at our new campus on Saturday, April 15th as well.  I do hope to see you this Sunday as we worship together, celebrate our Savior and prepare for Easter.

Our goal continues to be to demonstrate the love of God to our community through meeting needs with no strings attached.  How are you going to serve someone this weekend?  Join me!

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 ...
