January Community Church Ministry Newsletter
“Let your eyes look directly ahead And let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you. Watch the path of your feet And all your ways will be established. Do not turn to the right nor to the left; Turn your foot from evil.”
Proverbs 4:25-27
Have you ever tried to walk or run while you were looking to the side or behind you? Hint: It doesn’t end well! You very likely end up stumbling, falling, or colliding with someone or something.
The same thing can happen as we navigate into the beginning of a new year. It’s hard to move forward when your mind is constantly on the past.
Let’s take Solomon’s advice and keep our eyes looking forward, watching the path of our feet.
I hope and pray that the Lord will make your way prosperous in the new year!
Community Church Ministry is very thankful for God’s blessings in 2022, but we are prayerfully moving forward in 2023.
We are doing 3 neighborhood dinners in January.(6:30 start times each night.)
Monday, January 9, Callier Forest Apts.
Thursday, January 12, Dutch Gardens MHP.
Monday, January 16, Swan Lake MHP.
Please pray for these events, for volunteers, and for new areas to reach.
We are also looking into replenishing our inventory of hoodies, as we gave away over 300 in December. Generally, they are marked down in the first few months of the new year. Please pray for provision for this as well.
Thanks for your support of our ministry. God bless you!–
Blessings!

December Community Church Ministry Newsletter
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.”
James 1:17
Christmastime already… In fact, if you’ve watched all the commercials and read your emails, it’s been Christmastime since before Halloween!
It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the season.
No matter how hard we try, our schedules get hectic and stressful.
Don’t let it get to you… Please take care of yourself. Take a deep breath, relax, and thank God for the greatest gift of all, Jesus!

November Community Church Ministry Newsletter
“Now, therefore, our God, we thank You, and praise Your glorious name.”
1 Chronicles 29:13
David said these words to God because his heart was overflowing with joy and thanksgiving. His fellow Israelites had just given generously for the temple that Solomon was going to build for the LORD.
God has blessed each of us in so many ways. Sometimes we take things for granted and don’t realize how much He has blessed us.
I attended a chaplain’s meeting recently. (I work as a chaplain for Pruitt Health Hospice) One of the speakers gave us a sheet of paper and asked us to write 50 things we were thankful for. That was pretty easy. (I listed people, my ministry, and my vocation in addition to tangible items.) Then he asked us to come up with 50 more. This was a little more challenging, but I came up with fifty more. Then, he asked us to come up with another 50. I stretched my brain and came up with the final list.
The exercise made me realize, like David, that I truly have a lot to be thankful for.
Along those lines, I am truly thankful for you. Thanks for your friendship, prayers, and help in the ministry.
November is Thanksgiving dinner month at Community Church Ministry. We are doing 6 dinners.
