it's almost time ... 3 days till the work begins

So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.

It is almost time. At this time on Monday all the Men On A Mission team will he working hard moving toward the completion of our future campus. This team is composed of men of all ages, many different backgrounds but all have the same goal.

They have come to our town to help us do what God called us to do. Yes, we are working hard to complete a building, and we are working hard to complete the building so we can pour life in to the people of our community, and beyond.

Will you join the team? You really, really can.

First, you can (and we beg you) pray. Pray for the property, the safety of the team, the finishing of each piece of each part of the work and pray that God gets every bit of the glory while we tell the stories of changed lives and expect even more from our God.

Second, you can give (and we ask you to give). Go to www.thecommunityfellowship.org and click “give online”. As you go through the process choose “vision fund” as all those gifts go toward the work on our future campus.

Third, get your body over here and help with the work (and there is plenty of space and plenty of work for you to help with). Whether you are close by or far away, there is still time for you to join us. Let me know if you want more details. We need men who will build walls, men who will work on the roof, men who clean us messes and more. There is a place for everyone.

I cannot wait to share with you each piece of the work next week. Follow me and the church on Facebook to see the process, and thank you for taking part of this important week at The Community Fellowship!

Nehemiah 5:16 NLT

I also devoted myself to working on the wall and refused to acquire any land. And I required all my servants to spend time working on the wall.

2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT

Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.

This is going to be one of the best weeks of our church’s life! Thanks for joining in.

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....
