May Community Church Ministry Newsletter.It is always wonderful to start our message to everyone with reports of success – so let’s start this newsletter with that kind of report.
Done! Nine Easter egg hunts! Each one was a success. God gave us great weather, and each one was very well attended. Most importantly, several of those in attendance prayed to know Jesus as their personal Savior. (A big thank you to those of you who prayed, helped, and attended!)
The next step is a series of follow up events for these areas. On Thursdayevenings we rotate among three locations. The first Thursday is Darlington MHP. The second and fourth Thursdays is Dutch Gardens MHP and the third Thursday is Pine Village MHP. We hope to do pizza parties as our follow-up for these communities. We will gauge the feedback we get for further activities and opportunities for ministry to the people there.
In other news, it seems like a long time from now, but we are already planning for our back-to-school clothing and school supplies giveaway in July. More news to follow on this as we get closer to that time.
We would never be able to be the hands and feet of Jesus without you. Most importantly, we need your prayers – that God would continue to open doors, provide resources and people to help and to change the lives of those we seek to touch through this ministry. Please prayerfully consider how you can be a part of this important work with your time and resources.
As always, we pray that God will bless you richly.
Yours in Christ,
Pastor George Nix

If it seems like people are going to be doing a lot of egg hunting – they are! And that means we need help with donations of candy, hot dogs, buns and small gift cards for the prize drawing we do for the adults.
Most of all, we really NEED YOU! We really, really need you. Please contact me and let me know which of the dates above that you or your group can help with. We also need a lot of prayer for God to prepare and open the hearts and minds of those who come and we need prayer for no rain!
Thank you for your support – and many blessings for you and your loved ones!

February Community Church Ministry Newsletter
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
Valentine’s Day reminds us of love. There is no greater love than God’s.
He loved us while we were unlovable. “While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8) Because God loves us, we are to love others. “Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” (1 John4:11) And He has it for us EVERY day of the year, not just one day.
That’s the driving force for our mission – to share God’s love with others each and every day because God so loves us!
Won’t you join us? Community Church Ministry has many events that you and your church group can participate in.
Spring will be here before we know it, and we will head back outside to the neighborhoods. April means Easter time, and that means Easter egg hunts. We are praying that we will be able to do eight of these. So we will need lots of prayer, help and candy!
Please keep our ministry in your prayers daily. And please ask God what gifts He has given to you that he wants you to share with us as we endeavor to minister to our community.
