September Community Church Ministry Newsletter
“And He *said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
Matthew 4:19
In September of 2014, Community Church Ministry was incorporated as a non-profit ministry. We were in two neighborhoods then, Berrywood Apartments and Dutch Gardens MHP.
A lot has happened since then. God has allowed us to go to more than 12 neighborhoods.
We are very thankful to God for the success He has given us over the years.
But, we are not resting on our laurels. There are so many places we need to go to.
CCM would love for you to come with us. We are looking for groups and individuals to help us go into new territories.
Please pray that more volunteers will answer the call.
We are so grateful for your continued support! May God bless you!

August Community Church Ministry Newsletter
My heart is filled with gratitude as I write these words to you. Here’s why:
- God enabled us to do 13 events in July. 12 were back-to-school events.
- The weather was good for all of them except one, but the rain was brief at that one.
- We had enough school supplies to give out and some extra for next time.
- God supplied enough help.
- Seeds were planted of which we are praying to spring up to eternal life.
We all have so much to be thankful for!
Please continue to pray for Community Church Ministry
that God would guide the scheduling, that the Lord would open doors for us, hearts to be receptive, resources, volunteers, and good weather.
Our desire is to expand into other communities. Please pray about networking with us to reach your neighborhood.
Upcoming neighborhood dinners:
Monday, August 15- Swan Lake MHP
Thursday, August 18- Pine Village MHP

Getting Ahead of Yourself
“The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty, But those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty.”
Proverbs 21:5
Do you ever “get ahead of yourself?”
The Cambridge Dictionary defines getting ahead of yourself as “to do something too early, or before you are ready or prepared.”
Englishlogica.com gives us two examples:
“She’s really getting ahead of herself she has all the furniture bought for the new house but the mortgage hasn’t even been approved yet.”
” We can spend a lot of time arguing about how to market the product but I think we are getting ahead of ourselves. Let’s get the design right first.”
We live in a fast-paced, goal-driven world. It’s easy to “put the cart before the horse.”
How do we fix this?
We need to slow down, pray, and think before we rush into things.
Solomon hits the nail on the head with his advice:
“The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty, But those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty.”
Proverbs 21:5
Jesus said:
“For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?
Lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish’?”
Luke 14:28-30
We need to commit our plans to God:
“Commit your works to the Lord, And your thoughts will be established.”
Proverbs 16:3
As you slow down, pray and plan… May God give you success!
Remember that you don’t have to get ahead of yourself, because God is already there…
“The Lord is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”
Deuteronomy 31:8
