I am passionate about helping people in my community who are hurting, hungry or homeless. I am VERY blessed to be part of a wonderful church family who are dedicated to "demonstrating the love of God to our community". The Community Fellowship (Collinsville, VA) currently serves 2 free meals each month, distributes food for Angel Food Ministries & serve in various community outreaches. We are working to establish a "Dream Center" with one of the first phases being a homeless shelter. To learn more about the ministry of the original Dream Center, and examples of our future ministries, go to: www.dreamcenter.org
How many times have you responded, "I'm fine." or "Good, thank you." when someone greets you and asks how you are? Truth be told, we often give these polite replies when really we are anything but fine. So often we carry our burdens under the mask of a forced smile. Maybe we don't share our burdens, sorrows or problems with others because we are afraid of being judged. Maybe we don't share because we don't want to burden someone else. How wonderful to know that God will never judge us and he is never too busy to listen to us. He cares about what we care about and he stands ready to shoulder our burdens!
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-29
