Blessings and greetings to all of you as we say welcome to 2016!
As we begin to plan outreach to new areas, we remember these words from Proverbs 16: 3 – “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.”
So as we strive to commit ourselves daily to God’s will, we ask one main commitment of you – that you pray daily and diligently. Pray for wisdom as we plan to reach new areas of our community. Pray in advance for those people we will meet, that the Lord would begin to prepare their hearts to receive His word. Pray about ways you can support our ministry through your participation and finances. We firmly believe that earnest prayer will help each of us see the Lord’s path more clearly and remove any obstacles that would hinder our walk.
Looking back at 2015, we did four Easter egg hunts. Our plan for 2016 is to double that number. We also plan to have even more block parties to reach even more lives with Christ’s love. As the weeks progress, we will update our plans for even more ministry and fellowship opportunities.
We are thankful for God’s blessings in 2015, but we are not content to linger in the past. We are excited to take those blessings and move forward with our ministry in 2016. “Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3: 12-14)
Happy New Year everyone!

November is the month where people’s lives get busy – very, very busy. There is the Thanksgiving meal, trying to get a jump on Christmas shopping, and decorating the house. For some, it’s also time to make sure those Christmas cards are ready to go out.
But November is also the month of thankfulness. It is a time where we are reminded to stop all of the busyness – for a day at least – and be thankful. I know that I have a lot to be thankful for. I am thankful for you, your prayers, and continued support of our ministry.
Though the year is winding down, it is not winding down for our ministry. We are planning Thanksgiving meals at Dutch Gardens MHP on Sunday, November 22 at 1 p.m. and Willow Way Apartments on Monday, November 23 at 6:30 p.m.Please come and join us for a time of fellowship. Let us share a meal with you and your loved ones. Or help us serve one another.
Looking ahead to December, we are planning a Christmas play and party at 1 p.m. Sunday, December 13 at Dutch Gardens. We need donations of small toys, stocking stuffers and candy for this event.
Exciting plans for 2016 are being prayerfully formulated. As the ministry grows, we plan to go to many new locations to share the love of Christ and minister to new groups of people. If your church or youth group would like to help us with block parties, Easter egg hunts or Vacation Bible School, please let us know.
Also, don’t forget our regular events that we have on a weekly basis. Each Monday night, we have a dinner and Bible study at Willow Way Apartments in Rome. This weekly gathering of people has developed into a strong and cohesive group. We welcome anyone to come enjoy food and fellowship with us. On Sundays we have a worship service and lunch at Dutch Gardens MHP. It is also a small group, but a good one.
Please pray with us and for us – for the leaders, workers, resources, open doors and chances for many people to be reached with the good news and love of Jesus. We also need bilingual volunteers, as there is a high population of Latinos in these communities.
A dream of ours is to acquire a bus – old or new – which would be used as a mobile outreach center. Special events and regular meetings could be held there. It adds “legs” to our ministry. Help us pray about having this resource to help others.
And why not consider joining our team? You can still attend your favorite local church and be a local ambassador and missionary for Christ with us at the same time! Help us be the hands and feet of Jesus!

Community Church Ministry Update
Greetings, everyone!
We are getting ready for a very busy and full fall season. It kicks off with a cookout at the Willow Way Apartments on September 12.. Several college students have moved into the apartments since the start of school, and we hope to meet some of them. A drawing for a $50 shopping card should help attendance!
We follow the cookout with a Fall Festival at Dutch Gardens Mobile Home Park October 24.It will be a terrific place for all of the many kids to come, and it should be just as much fun for the adults, too. There will games, food, music and inflatables. It will be a time for fun and fellowship, and we can’t wait to see everyone there.
More activities will follow as we start to head into the later part of the year and the holiday season, and we will give updates as available.
This past Easter we did several egg hunts at both Willow Way and Dutch Gardens, and we added two new places as well – Darlington Mobile Home Park and Pine Village Mobile Home Park. We are praying about the next steps God would have us take there and opportunities for ministry at any and every turn.
Please pray with us and for us – for the leaders, workers, resources, open doors and chances for many people to be reached with the good news and love of Jesus. We also need bilingual volunteers, as there is a high population of Latinos in these communities.
And why not consider the chance to join our team? You can still attend your favorite local church and be a local ambassador and missionary for Christ at the same time! Help us be the hands and feet of Jesus!
