last day to register for back2school

Today is the last day to register students for back2school. Each of the locations will be open this evening will be open for 6 to 8pm for all students who need to register or have their feet measured for shoes.

Why do we lead the back2school program? That is an easy question. We desire to serve and share value with others. Maybe the voice of the volunteer that serves a specific child or maybe it is the feeling that the student feels or even the story that each student hears will remind them of the hope we have from Jesus.

That is the very reason we seek to share with each and every student. Would you help us today to get the word out about registration. Tell a friend or neighbor. Share a facebook message. Do something to help us serve more people.

Matthew 19:14-15 NLT

But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” 15 And he placed his hands on their heads and blessed them before he left.

Students receive a new backpack with school supplies. Some locations will offer haircuts and clothing. Students will have their feet washed as they receive new shoes and socks. Each student is a blessing. Each location is an open door for us to share about Jesus.

Thanks for your help. There is more, much more, to come as we seek to make Jesus famous by sharing with each student and their families during back2school.

How will you support and share back2school 2024? Tuesday is the last opportunity to register your student to be part of this year’s event. Join us Tuesday evening from 6 to 8pm at The Community Fellowship or any of the locations. Email your questions or thoughts (emailback2school@gmail.com) and go to www.gob2s.com for more details.

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...
