Volunteers Needed

Hey Community family and friends.

Please take a minute to read the message below from my friend and ministry partner Linda Prillaman.  As the letter shares there are volunteers needed to serve students around our community due to the Covid-19 situation and our schools.  Please read on.  If you are interested, contact Linda and attend the meeting she mentions.

Thank you!

The Boys and Girls Club has partnered with First United Methodist of Martinsville and McCabe Memorial to provide Supervised Learning and FUN for students whose parents are working or just need help.


We would LOVE to have volunteers (who feel safe working with one or two children in a social distancing v environment), to help the students from 9-11am or 12:30-2pm, with their assignments. You do not have to be a teacher, the amazing teachers from the schools are doing that work (and they are amazing!). But, what you would be doing is working with 1 or 2 students (especially K and 1st graders) to read their assignments and coach them in completing them.

We have scheduled a SPECIAL TIME to talk through the volunteer process and training! Come and hear about this unique opportunity to pour into the next generation during these crazy times!!

We will meet Monday night, August 31st, at McCabe Memorial (107 Clearview Dr, Martinsville) at 6pm in the Fellowship Hall (back of the building) with Joanie Petty, Director of the Boys and Girls Club. WE will social distance AND everyone MUST wear a mask! Share the word! Let's BE THE CHURCH and come alongside our teachers and kids to make this unique time in Martinsville Henry County a time when our kids feel the love of Jesus as the Church Body invest in them!

Please help us get the word out about the meeting/training and if you know a family that needs help with their kids call the BGC at 276-656-1171.

If you have questions call Linda Prillaman at 713-007-5375.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
