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.
Community Church Ministry March Newsletter March madness…. What comes to mind is the annual basketball tournament. But it can also refer to one’s own hurried pace of life this month. The days are getting longer and we lose an hour of sleep with the time change. Community Church Ministry is getting ready for a busy April, in which we are prayerfully planning 9 Easter egg hunts/ cookouts. We hope to have a confirmed schedule soon. Please check our website and our Facebook page in the near future for the schedule. Prayer is our biggest need. Please pray earnestly for open doors, workers, lives to be changed, and for no rain. Second, we need you and your group to volunteer at one of our events. Third, bags of individually wrapped candy for the treat bags. We are thankful for you, and appreciate whatever you feel led to do. Please contact me for more information. Blessings!Pastor George Nix(706)767-1376
Community Church Ministry – January Newsletter Wishing you all a very Happy New Year this 2019! Community Church Ministry just finished a very busy December. God blessed us with the chance to hold 10 different Christmas celebrations in multiple neighborhoods. With the turn of the calendar page to a new year, it’s time to consider a few essential goals.
First: That’s the first goal – put God first – before anything else you do, and He will guide your path.Psalm 32: 8 — I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you.
Forget the past:Philippians 3:12-14 — Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus
Forgive: Ephesians 4:32 — Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
Forge ahead: Hebrews 12:1-2 — 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, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Fear not:
1 Timothy 1:7 — For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
As the new year starts, we are in continual prayer over our 2019 schedule. Please pray with us, and please considering partnering with us and sharing your time and resources. God bless you all!Pastor George Nix (706)767-1376
