it's not over ... back2school


It’s not over.  In fact, we have only just begun.


Back2school is happening.  This afternoon at The Community Fellowship we will serve special needs students and their families.  Saturday we will serve hundreds of students.  We are excited about them all.


It isn’t over because we have a message to share.  Please join me in praying for each person that interacts with our back2school team members.  


I believe this is who God has called us to be.  I mean, I love the church, and specifically I love the church God has allowed me to serve.  What a blessing.


But the “big C” is important.  It is a big deal.  I am talking about all the people who have made Jesus their savior.  We are children of God.  We might attend different churches.  We might lives in different places or communities.  But what is most important is we have the same story to tell.


The story is about Jesus.  It’s not over.


The story gets sweeter and sweeter.  Each person needs to hear it.  Why?  because this story demonstrates God’s love, their value and that there is hope.  Pray for those things.  Each of them.


May people come in to direct contact with God’s love.


May each student and their families realize their God given value.


May many involved, those serving and those being served, overflow with real and lasting Hope.


It is time because back2school isn’t over.  It’s only just began.


Hebrews 6:11  NLT  

Our great desire is that you will keep on loving others as long as life lasts, in order to make certain that what you hope for will come true.


Pray for each church serving.  Pray for each student being served.  Pray that each interacts with the truth of God and with God.  It is time for #back2school and it’s not over!

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....
