Memorial Reception for Susanna Dunham

Community family and friends -

This Sunday, February 27th, at 5:30 we will host a celebration of life memorial reception for Susanna Dunham.  This will include some special music and sharing, but it will really be a time to fellowship and encourage the Dunham family.

Bring bring reception type foods, finger foods or all sorts, to help us celebrate Susanna's life.  Everyone is invited and encouraged to come be part of this special evening.

Susanna is the daughter of Cathy and David Dunham.  She passed away on February 2nd.  She enjoyed serving at church and has also been part of some of our mission trips, most recently to Cuba.  Her family asks that donations in her memory be made to the Martinsville SPCA.

Remember that we are called to "demonstrate the love of God to our community", and one way we do this is by caring for people close to us.  Join us Sunday at 5:30pm for Susanna's celebration of life reception.  Continue to pray for and encourage the Dunham family.

With GOD as my guide,

Pastor Michael Harrison
-- James 1:5

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....
