help prepare for back2school

We are one week away from the best back2school event ever. There are still LOTS of things that need to happen to make this event happen. Can you be a big help by working in one or more of these ways!

STUFF THE BUS is Friday and Saturday, and this is when we go to Walmart to share this project with people from our community. We hand out flyers and ask people to buy school supplies to help. Your help is needed especially on Friday. Can you help? (Our partners from Mercy Crossing will be working at Big Lots, and our partners from Mt. Calvary will be at Sam's and Walmart in Danville). Pray for success!

ADOPT A STUDENT is this Sunday as we ask our family and friends to help with back2school by adopting one or more students. It costs $18 per student, and we ask that you join us. Give online by going to this website https://e-giving.org/egivinglogin.asp. You can also give at church on Sunday or mail your check to TCF back2school, PO Box 388, Collinsville, VA 24078.

MILK SHAKE FUND RAISER at CHICK-FIL-A will be Wednesday, August 1st. We will receive 50% of the proceeds from all Milk Shake sales on this day. Go by the restaurant in the mall and get one. Tell your friends. This is awesome, and we are grateful for their help!

VOLUNTEER TRAINING is set for Thursday, August 2nd at 6:30pm. All our volunteers are asked to attend this special training, and this is when you will receive your t-shirt and your team member assignment. It takes lots of people to make this happen.

AND THERE IS MORE that you can do to help this event happen. Volunteers are needed each day between now and next Saturday. If you can help at anytime, please call the church at 276-647-8231 or email us at info@thecommunityfellowship. Thank you for meeting a need and making a difference by touching the lives of students in our community.

Don't forget about worship this Sunday at 10:10am at The Community Fellowship. We continue our series called "Forgotten Virtues", and we will talk about gratitude. See you soon. Don't forget to demonstrate the love of God to your community by serving the people around you. See you soon!

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan. His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God. Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st. The book is Forgotten God . This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into. All of it is within the Holy Spirit.

It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about. And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts. We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things. It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share. For me C.S. Lewis is one of those. He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class. It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before. He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born. It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian. He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
