Christmas Eve at The Community

Community family and friends,

I want to personally invite you to spend some time with our church family family celebrating Jesus this Christmas Eve. Sunday morning at 10:10 we will gather and have a little different worship experience. Music. Lights. Message. And focusing on the reason for Christmas.

Also, I ask that you to give a mission offering to church. All offering giving this Sunday at church will go to our 2023 Mission Offering. This time of the year is when we take the offering that helps to serve others and share Jesus to the ends of the earth. This money will go to international, North American, state and local mission as well as to outreach projects. Please bring your best gift to church.

We know that some of our church family have plans to be in other places this Sunday, but be encouraged to lift up and celebrate Jesus. Throughout the Christmas story we find people worshipping Jesus. The wisemen, shepherds, Simeon and Anna at the temple, and others. May we be found doing the same… making much of Jesus!

Thank you for helping make The Community Fellowship a priority. 2024 will bring us more opportunities and challenges. There will be more opportunities for Bible study and prayer each week. Watch for more details coming. There are also missions and outreach opportunities, more than the past few years, that you will want to take advantage of.

My prayer for each of us this Christmas is that we will give God our firsts, not our lasts. Give Him our hearts, our talents and return to Him our offerings … literally our time talent and treasure.

I love you all. Please let me and our church leaders know how we can pray for you. Have a blessed and wonderful Christmas celebration, and I hope to see you at church Christmas eve!

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...
