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

It’s not quite fall yet, but the signs are all around us that it is close at hand. School is in full swing, football is back, and we look forward to cooler weather.
September News ~
With autumn approaching, Community Church Ministry is in the process of planning fall festivals. We are still awaiting word as to whether we can hold them at the four public housing properties we would like. We are developing alternate plans – just in case.
In the meantime, we have started holding Thursday night dinners in three locations. The first Thursday of the month we meet at Darlington Mobile Home Park. The second and fourth Thursdays we have dinner at Dutch Gardens Mobile Home Park, and the third Thursday we are meeting at Pine Village Mobile Home Park. (Starting in October.) We are blessed with a couple of volunteers who speak Spanish, so this has made a big difference in our ability to communicate with members of these communities. We really love hanging out and getting to know the residents.
This coming Saturday, September 10, we are hosting a cookout at Willow Way Apartments from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Please consider attending this event with us.
We at Community Church Ministry would like to offer a big thank you to all who have attended our events, volunteered and prayed with us. Please consider continuing to donate some of your time or resources as we move forward. Also, please continue to pray for open doors for us to share God’s love in the communities.
May our heavenly Father bless each and every one of you richly and abundantly.
