volunteer of the week BROOKS JONES

The volunteer of the week at The Community Fellowship is Brooks Jones!!!

Brooks Jones and his wife, Jessica were married May 12th of 2014. They have been an active part of The Community Fellowship family for over a year.

Before coming to The Community Fellowship, Brooks served 4 years in the United States Marine Corps.

Brooks is the Mobility Manager for Martinsville & Henry County. He writes grants and uses money to start and lead programs that help people in our community with barriers in transportation.

During the Uptown REACH event in September, Brooks was instrumental in helping with announcements and being on hand to assist the speakers, volunteers and those that participated in the events.

Brooks and Jessica are also valued members of the REACH Team and are much appreciated by those they serve with, as well as those they strive to serve.

In August, Brooks was the Leader of our B2K (back2school) Ministry and was hands on during the months of preparation leading up to the actual event where 3000 children received new shoes, socks, back packs, haircuts, clothes, prayer and encouragement for their new school year.

Brooks is very excited about our new campus and would love to see a 24 hour church ran for the community by the community, basically a Dream Center in Martinsville.

In his spare time Brooks likes to watch sports, be in the gym and spend time with his wife and 6 year old son, Brycen.

Brooks favorite Bible verse is Luke 9:23 "Then he said to the crowd, "If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross daily, and follow me."

We are indeed honored to do ministry alongside of Brooks Jones and recognize him as our Community Fellowship Volunteer of the Week! Thank you, Brooks for your service to our country, our church and our Community.

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...
