press release from The Community Dream Center

PRESS RELEASE

Immediate Media Release, April 27, 2011

 

 

HENRY COUNTY, VA.   ---  The Community Dream Center (TCDC) board of directors announces we will be hosting three community meetings in the month of May to share information about us and about the work we will be doing to assist hurting people in and around Henry County.

 

The first meeting we are hosting will be this coming Sunday, May 1st, at Bassett High School beginning at 3:30pm.  Other community meetings will be announced in the coming days and weeks.

 

Everyone is invited and encouraged to attend.  TCDC is a brand new local organization modeled closely after the highly successful Los Angeles Dream Center.  The Dream Center model has assisted in lowering the crime rate in the areas it has been located and in seeing the lives of those it serves greatly changed.  We seek to fill the gaps in services here in our community with the largest of those being a residence for homeless men. 

 

"For more than four years The Community Fellowship has sought to meet needs in the lives of the people in our community.  This has been done through assisting with benevolent needs including food, clothing and more," says Michael Harrison lead pastor of The Community Fellowship and founder of The Community Dream Center.  "It is our desire to offer services to those in need as well as to point people to the services that other organizations offer."

 

If you are interested in helping or for more information, contact The Community Dream Center by calling 276-647-8233 or by emailing info@tcdc.info.  Please pray for those in need and help make a difference in the lives of those around us.

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....
