Community family news!

Dear Community family and friends!

This is a great week to be part of The Community Fellowship, and we want to make sure you know what is going on, how you can get involved and where you can make a difference. Remember our goal is the same as our vision which is to demonstrate the love of God to our communityand beyond!

This Sunday is FAITH IN ACTION day as we partner with Rich Acres Christian Church to serve in over 10 locations across Martinsville and Henry County. It all begins at 9am at Rich Acres Church (422 Mountain View Road, Martinsville) for the kick off, short worship and Bible study before heading out to serve. Many of you have signed up to serve in a specific project, but some of you have not signed up. Don’t worry because there are still places for you to help. Either contact me, Pastor Michael, or come Sunday morning to Rich Acres dressed ready to get dirty by serving. There will be a short Bible study just before 10am at The Community before the meal packing project happens at the church. Join in. Make a difference!

Our MOTHER’s DAY car care clinic is just a couple weeks away. That means we need your help on Saturday, May 12th at the church. You can help with oil changes, the meal, the clothing ministry or much more. This is a day when many people show up, and we need to be ready to serve. Listen for more details.

Our YOUTH MINISTRY are still selling pizza’s and have to sell about 20 more before May 1st to make sure this fundraiser is a success. Go to www.pizzakit.com, click products and then clock shop for kits. Use this code 347384 when you are ready to order. I have tasted and used these products, and they are good!

The ADDICTION MINISTRY of our church continues to meet on Saturday but at a new time. It is Saturday at 6pm. The worship is awesome. The message is always relevant. Please join in. Please pass the word!

Let me remind you as well to continue to be faithful in your giving. Many from The Community have committed to being part of the 90 DAY GIVING CHALLENGE that goes through the end of May. You can give online at https://tcf.ccbchurch.com/goto/giving , mail your gifts to the church or bring them by. Thank you for your faithfulness!

That is enough for now. Get involved. Make a difference. I love you all and look forward to seeing you all this weekend!

With GOD as my guide,

Pastor Michael Harrison

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...
