volunteer of the week JONATHAN NORMAN

This week The Community Fellowship’s “volunteer of the week” is Jonathan Norman!!!

Jonathan Norman, his wife Angie and their family have been part of The Community Fellowship family since its beginning.

During our back2school Ministry Jonathan volunteers in the Shoe Area making sure the right shoes are selected for each child that is blessed through this event.

Jonathan is a Diesel Mechanic and is instrumental in using his skills in our Mother’s Day Car Care Ministry where many women are blessed to be able bring their cars to the church and receive a free oil change and engine diagnostics.

Angie Norman, Jonathan’s wife, describes him as a “Certified Brainiac” when it comes to trucks and equipment. We are indeed blessed that he uses these gifts to bless our church family as well as others!

Our church recently was part of Raceway Ministries, and Jonathan makes a point of always being on hand to set up and take down chairs, serve coffee and minister to others while he’s there.

Jonathan has gone on Mission Trips with the church and also spends much of his time at our new campus using his skills as a mechanic as well as doing the work necessary to prepare for us to be able to move in soon.

Having found victory in the Lord over and over, Jonathan strives to lead his family in praying together regularly and watching Jesus work 100% of the time, no matter the circumstance.

In his spare time Jonathan loves to spend time with his dad, Larry Norman. He also enjoys spinning wheels and being a dirt bike mechanic for his sons, John-John 11 and Hayden 8. Jonathan and his wife have been married for 13 years and have never been on a honeymoon and are very happy to be able to take a trip to the beach this next month to celebrate.

Jonathan’s favorite Bible verse is Joshua 24:15 “But if you refuse to serve the LORD, then choose today whom you will serve. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates? Or will it be the gods of the Amorites in whose land you now live? But as for me and my family, we will serve the LORD.”

We are indeed honored to recognize Jonathan Norman as The Community’s volunteer of the week! Thank you, Jonathan, for striving to show the love of God to our community through your generous service to others.

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. Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people. 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...
