end of the year GIVING



It is almost the end of the year, and there are many things to get done. Well, maybe that is just for some of us. We also have so much to be thankful for. God has shown up and shown off.

As December 31st will be here in a few days I wanted to challenge you with an end of the year gift.  All donations that come in before the end of the day on Monday will be credited to your 2018 giving record.

How can you give?

THE CHURCH.  Our general fund is the best place to start and will help us get off to a great start in the New Year.  

VISION FUND.  This is the completion of our new campus.  All of these gifts will be used to finish the building and set us up to serve more and stronger across our community and beyond.

MISSION OFFERING.  This week we end our mission offering.  Once per year we ask people to help with mission causes.  100% of this offering will go toward our mission endeavors around the world, also here in our community. 

THE COMMYUNITY DREAM CENTER: HOMELESSNESS and FEEDING.  Giving to our Dream Center will allow us to serve more people who find themselves homeless and hungry.  This will also fund our transitional house where 8 men each night have a place to stay that is safe and have help in getting life together with work and stable housing and more.

There are three ways to get your gift to The Community.

GIVE ONLINE. Go to this link https://tcf.ccbchurch.com/goto/giving and choose where you want your gift to go.  This is the quickest way to get your gift to us.

GIVE AT CHURCH THIS SUNDAY.  Of coarse this Sunday and every Sunday you can bring your gift to church. Mark your gift for where you want it to go.

MAIL YOUR GIFT.  Mail your check or money order to The Community, PO Box 388, Collinsville, VA 24078. Gifts need to be post marked by December 31st.

Ahead of time let me thank you for giving and being generous.  God calls those who follow Him to use their resources, the ones He gave us, to serve His causes and to fuel more people having their stories radically changed by Him.

We are called to demonstrate the love of God to our communityand beyond, and one way we do just that is through our giving.  Thank you for stepping up to give at the end of the year!

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

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look

Day 8 in Cuba

We have just come off and incredible weekend, and it is day 8 of the mission trip in Cuba.  Thank you to all who have been praying for this trip, the mission team and the impact it will have on those we serve.   Please don’t stop praying. Last week Alex and I served with a mission team in the mountains of southern Cuba.  There were several challenges, but God gave us safety, provision and opportunity to serve some of the sweetest people I have ever met.  No running water… sporadic electricity generated by a small, logo dammed up river, no transportation other than animals, limited food sources and more.  These people love the Lord and sharing their faith with others. Over the weekend we made our way back to Havana.  On Friday our vehicle broke down leaving us on the side of the road for several hours.  We then boarded a bus and rode 14 hours.  We arrived safely and even got some rest. Sunday was so, so good.  We visited two partner churches.  In the morning we were with one church that
