Ministry Therapy
“Sometimes all you need is ministry therapy.” This was a social media post by one of our amazing volunteers, Erica Vaughn. She wrote this about an hour or so after we had sweated together in 80 degree heat to do a community outreach.
What is ministry therapy? I believe it could be defined as serving unselfishly, with your whole heart. Throwing yourself completely into an act of service. The focus point shifts from me, to the other person. For awhile, we forget about the troubles in our own lives.
Jesus set the example. He is the Son of God, and He came to serve.
“Even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Matthew 20:28
Last night when I got home, my shirt was soaked, my cap looked like water had been poured over it, and I could barely walk. But, I felt peace and contentment. Maybe it was because I had done some “ministry therapy.”

June has finally arrived and though the calendar doesn’t show summer coming for a few more days, for all practical purposes it’s here – which means Community Church Ministry has even more opportunity for outside events for outreach in our neighborhoods. At these events we play uplifting music, serve delicious food and share inspiration from God’s Word.
We are excited to be able to hang out with some great people. Here’s the schedule for June:
1. Thursday, June 1 – Darlington MHP
2. Thursday, June 8 – Dutch Gardens MHP
3. Monday, June 12 – Willow Way Apartments
4. Thursday, June 15 – Pine Village MHP
5. Monday, June 19 – Callier Forest Apartments
6. Thursday, June 22 – Dutch Gardens MHP
We also looking farther ahead on the calendar to July, when – Lord willing – we will host seven back-to-school events where we will give out basic school supplies.
As always, we ask that you pray for these events, that people’s hearts and minds would be touched by the Lord. And come help us as we spread God’s love! Your love and support are always welcomed and needed.
Blessings to all!
Pastor George Nix
