weekend FULL of opportunities at The Community

Community family and friends

I hope you are having a great week and preparing for the weekend. We all love the weekend. Admit it. Well, this weekend is full of opportunities to be blessed and to be a blessing. Thought I would share them with you.

First, this Sunday we begin a new 6 week series called STAY POSITIVE. Everything from how we live to how we give. God calls us to be encouraged and to be encouragers. Join in for the teaching and worship.

Second, this Saturday evening from 5 to 8pm is our first CRUISE IN @ The Community. Cool cars, trucks and motorcycles will be on display. Lots of time to look, share and enjoy great people. There will also be food and more. All the money donated will go to our Vision Fund to finish the new campus. This will be an every 2nd Saturday evening event through the warmer months.

Third, Saturday morning from 8 until noon is a WORK DAY AT THE NEW CAMPUS. It will be a little chilly, but there is plenty to do and lots you can help with. Kasim Adams will lead this time of working. If you have never seen the new building or haven’t seen it in a while, here is another chance to go see. Our youth will be serving this day too!

Fourth and finally, this is our 2nd Saturday FREE meal and Clothes Closet from 9am until noon. Volunteers are needed and should arrive at 8:30. There will also be special guests in the areas of health and family encouragement. Extra volunteers are needed. Please help pass the word about this monthly event, and remember next month will be our annual Mother’s Day outreach for women!

Whew, that is a lot, but I am excited for what is coming. Plus, my dad is headed to spend the weekend with my family and with our church family. I hope to see you this weekend as we demonstrate the love of God to our community and beyond.

With GOD as my guide,
Pastor Michael Harrison— James 1:5

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...
