last day to register for back2school



Today is the last day to register students for back2school.  Each of the locations will be open this evening will be open for 6 to 8pm for all students who need to register or have their feet measured for shoes.

Why do we lead the back2school program?  That is an easy question.  We desire to serve and share value with others.  Maybe the voice of the volunteer that serves a specific child or maybe it is the feeling that the student feels or even the story that each student hears will remind them of the hope we have from Jesus.


That is the very reason we seek to share with each and every student.  Would you help us today to get the word out about registration.  Tell a friend or neighbor.  Share a facebook message.  Do something to help us serve more people.


Matthew 19:14-15  NLT  

But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” 15 And he placed his hands on their heads and blessed them before he left.


Students receive a new backpack with school supplies.  Some locations will offer haircuts and clothing.  Students will have their feet washed as they receive new shoes and socks.  Each student is a blessing.  Each location is an open door for us to share about Jesus.


Thanks for your help.  There is more, much more, to come as we seek to make Jesus famous by sharing with each student and their families during back2school. 


How will you support and share back2school 2024?  Tuesday is the last opportunity to register your student to be part of this year’s event.  Join us Tuesday evening from 6 to 8pm at The Community Fellowship or any of the locations.  Email your questions or thoughts (emailback2school@gmail.com) and go to www.gob2s.com for more details.

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....
