Hello Community Family!

It has already been a great week. Let me remind you to keep praying for the new church as it forms and as the Lord gives us His direction. In the last day we have made several great strides toward a successful future. My application as a church planter with the SBCV is coming together well. The Community Fellowship’s new mailing address is PO BOX 388, Collinsville, VA 24078. We now have a bank account at Smith River Bank, and you can write your checks to The Community Fellowship now. We have been looking at possible meeting places in the area.

Our leadership team (Trey, Lee, Cindy, Tommy and Pastor Michael) will be meeting this week to continue praying, planning and pushing forward with the vision that God has given us. We are still working toward a web site. Keep looking for updates on my blog (http://e-devotion.blogspot.com/ ) and via contact with others.

Encourage those around you to take part in all God is leading us to do. Below are our next two events taking place this weekend. Read carefully and remember that it takes all of us to pull off what we are attemping. Let me know if you have any questions and if you have a desire to serve in some special way.

I am excited to ANNOUNCE that at all our activities from this point forward we will have planned activities and teaching for our children. We are off and running. Keep on …

This will be a pot luck meal under the picnic shelter for the entire church family. Bring enough for your family and more. Southside Park is in lower Martinsville near Mi Ranchito Mexican Restaurant. You turn between Biscuitville and the old BB&T branch. We will have a time of worship and preaching. Our children will have special activities and worship just for them with the help of some new leadership and our teenagers.

I love each of you and am excited about all God is doing. Here are some verses on my heart from this morning:

"For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels— everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him. He was there before any of it came into existence and holds it all together right up to this moment. And when it comes to the church, he organizes and holds it together, like a head does a body. He was supreme in the beginning and— leading the resurrection parade— he is supreme in the end. From beginning to end he's there, towering far above everything, everyone." Colossians 1:16-18 (MSG)

More to come soon! The Community Fellowship is a reality…

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
