If you drove by cornfield a few months ago, you wouldn’t have seen any corn, only small plants. Now, the plants are bigger and are close to being ready for harvest.
Community Church Ministry plants the seeds of God’s love and plan of redemption in all seasons of the year. This month, we would like to invite you to come join the harvest. We do community dinners on Mondays and Thursdays in several communities in Rome. The need is for volunteers to help set up tables and chairs, serve food, or just hang out and talk with the sweet folks in the neighborhood in attendance.
This would be an opportunity for you to “ready for harvest.”
The cool part about it is that you don’t have to miss your church on Sunday and we don’t expect you to be there every week.
“Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!”Psalms 34:8 Years ago I did an object lesson with a group of kids at Swan Lake MHP. I had a tray of bite-size brownies and I allowed the kids to sample them, to “taste” them. My point then, and now, is to say that if you come to Jesus, commit your life to Him, just get a taste of a relationship with Him… you will find true satisfaction. Even more delicious than a brownie!
I want to extend the opportunity to you to “taste” Community Church Ministry. Give it a try. We minister on most Mondays and Thursdays, so you won’t have to miss church. So, what do you have to lose? You might find CCM satisfying and come back for seconds…
July is a busy month for us, as we are doing several “back – to – school” events in the communities. We give away basic school supplies and serve a delicious meal.
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.)
