Volunteers Needed

Hey Community family and friends.

Please take a minute to read the message below from my friend and ministry partner Linda Prillaman.  As the letter shares there are volunteers needed to serve students around our community due to the Covid-19 situation and our schools.  Please read on.  If you are interested, contact Linda and attend the meeting she mentions.

Thank you!

The Boys and Girls Club has partnered with First United Methodist of Martinsville and McCabe Memorial to provide Supervised Learning and FUN for students whose parents are working or just need help.


We would LOVE to have volunteers (who feel safe working with one or two children in a social distancing v environment), to help the students from 9-11am or 12:30-2pm, with their assignments. You do not have to be a teacher, the amazing teachers from the schools are doing that work (and they are amazing!). But, what you would be doing is working with 1 or 2 students (especially K and 1st graders) to read their assignments and coach them in completing them.

We have scheduled a SPECIAL TIME to talk through the volunteer process and training! Come and hear about this unique opportunity to pour into the next generation during these crazy times!!

We will meet Monday night, August 31st, at McCabe Memorial (107 Clearview Dr, Martinsville) at 6pm in the Fellowship Hall (back of the building) with Joanie Petty, Director of the Boys and Girls Club. WE will social distance AND everyone MUST wear a mask! Share the word! Let's BE THE CHURCH and come alongside our teachers and kids to make this unique time in Martinsville Henry County a time when our kids feel the love of Jesus as the Church Body invest in them!

Please help us get the word out about the meeting/training and if you know a family that needs help with their kids call the BGC at 276-656-1171.

If you have questions call Linda Prillaman at 713-007-5375.

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
