Community Church Ministry December Newsletter
Merry Christmas!
While the holiday season can be stressful and hectic, we hope you that will take time for some enjoyment and rest and that you will remember who and what Christmas is all about.
Community Church Ministry is sponsoring four Christmas parties. They will be at Dutch Gardens MHP, Darlington MHP, Pine Village MHP, and Callier Forest Apartments. Please help us pray that many will come to experience God’s love.
December also is a time to reflect on the year’s blessings. God allowed us to minister through five Easter egg hunts, two of which – Main and Willingham Apartments – we did for the first time. In July we held Back to School events at three separate locations. October came and we did three Fall Festivals. Two of them – Callier Forest and Banty Jones Park, were our first events at those locations and both were HUGE! And in November, we held three Thanksgiving dinners, including one at Callier Forest Apartments, which was very well received.
We are extremely grateful to each person who helped us this year. God has raised up several new volunteers to help make our successes possible. A few other churches also blessed us by helping us with our events.
Our next newsletter will outline what we believe are God’s plans for an exciting 2017. Please continue to pray with us, volunteer or give as God directs you. May the Lord bless each of you richly. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Love in Christ,
Pastor George Nix

Leaves are turning colors and falling from the trees. Our weather is finally bringing us cooler temperatures. These are the sure signs of the change of seasons.
At Community Church Ministry, we have, in a sense, entered a new season, too. During spring and summer we held outdoor events such as Easter egg hunts, back to school events and warm-weather fall festivals. Now our focus turns mostly to indoor events.
In November, we will be holding Thanksgiving dinners in several Rome locations – Dutch Gardens Mobile Home Park, Willow Way Apartments and the Callier Forest Apartments.
In December, we hope to do put on Christmas parties in four locations. Details will be forthcoming.
We are in need of donations. Please consider helping to supply one or more of the following:
- Ham and side dishes for the dinners.
- Candy, small unisex toys and small stuffed animals for children’s gift bags.
- Cookies and small cakes for the Christmas parties.
As always, we need your prayers for success in our outreach endeavors. And also as always, we really could use a helping hand from you at our events! Please prayerfully consider how the Lord could use you to be His hands and feet with our ministry.
I pray blessings for each and every one of you.

Finally!
Cooler weather and the return of football. It can only mean one thing – fall is here!
And for Community Church Ministry, that means Fall Festival season, which is one of the most exciting seasons for us because of the opportunities we have to reach so many people with love of Jesus.
At the time of this writing, we have just completed our first Fall Festival, which was held at Dutch Gardens Mobile Home Park. Even with our bigger competition of the Coosa Valley Fair not far away, we had a wonderful turnout.
The Lord willing, we will be at two more locations – Callier Forest Apartments on October 15 and Banty Jones Park on October 29.
Remember, for our Thursday night gatherings, we are alternating among Dutch Gardens MHP, Darlington MHP and Pine Village MHP.
Please continue in your prayers for us during this exciting time – that we will have clear weather, abundant resources and volunteers and lots of folks who come experience God’s love.
Be sure to let us know if you can help!
Love in Christ,
Pastor George
