Are you getting Rest?
“And He said to them, “Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.”Mark 6:31
Although the time they spent resting was brief, the passage shows that Jesus cares when we are tired from life’s busy pace.
In my “day job” as a hospice chaplain, I have heard and quoted this saying many times. “You’ve got to take care of yourself to take care of others.”
That’s the simple message this month. Slow down, rest, and let God renew your strength. Don’t forget to put God first, spend time praying, and more importantly, listening to Him.
As I write this, I am recovering from left hip replacement surgery I had on June 3rd. The CCM volunteers are soldering on this month without me.
Here’s the lineup. Please pray, and come help! (6:30 each night.)
Thursday, June 13th Darlington MHP
Monday, June 17th Callier Forrest Apts.
Thursday, June 20 Dutch Gardens MHP
Monday, June 24th Willow Way Apts.
Get some rest! God bless you!

“Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.”Psalms 107:1
Our hearts are full of thankfulness at Community Church Ministry! First of all, we are grateful to God that He enabled us to do 10 Easter egg hunts/ cookouts. The last 2 were in Rockmart, where we had never gone before. There were raindrops here and there, but God held the hard rains off for another time. Second of all, we are grateful to all who came and helped, working unselfishly, giving up their time. If I start mentioning names, I might leave someone out. If you are reading this and you came to help. Thank you. May God reward you 100 fold! Last but not least, thanks to all who gave, and to all who prayed. God will bless your giving. Prayer is the backbone of any successful ministry. Accept our sincere thanks.
Going forward… We are doing community dinners in 5 communities this month, Lord willing. 6:30 starting time.Thursdays:
2nd Darlington MHP
9th Dutch Gardens MHP
16th Pine Village MHP
Mondays:
13th Callier Forrest Apts.
20th Willow Way Apts.
Please pray, and come hang out with us, and some precious folks. Your gifts to the ministry are always welcome.
God bless you!

Ready, set, go… Wait, am I actually in a race? How am I going to finish? It’s too long! Many years, and pounds ago, I ran cross country and track in high school and part of college. (I was a distance runner, not a sprinter!) If I thought about the whole race at one time, I would have been in despair. The same is true in life, we can easily get overwhelmed if we think about all that we have to accomplish. The key is to live every day, and set goals along the way. The Bible says in Hebrews 12:1 “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.”Run with endurance… That’s what Community Church Ministry is doing during this marathon month of Easter egg hunts. As I’m writing this, we are preparing to go to:
Ashland Park Apartments tomorrow at 12, and
Willingham Village at 2.
Then: Willow Way Apartments 4/15 @ 6:30.
Pine Village 4/18 @ 6:30.
We finish on 4/20 with 2 in Rockmart.
Please pray for no rain and lots of folks to come to be with us. And… Please let me know if you can volunteer for any of those events.
