Time to Throw in the Towel....!

Time to Throw In the Towel….

Yes, you read that right! It is time for us to throw in the towel already!

October is a big month for us at Community of Joy! We are throwing in the towel in many ways! It will be the first full month since we threw in the towel on one worship gathering… we now have two! One at 9 a.m. and one at 10:30 a.m.

On October 7 @ 6:30 p.m. you are invited to come to the ministry center to participate in a special worship gathering called the Love Feast, which is modeled after Jesus’ last supper with his disciples recorded in John 13. In this meal that Jesus shared with his followers, he threw in the towel as a way of reminding us that we are called to serve the world. Come join us for this special time… childcare provided as well as a simple meal, an opportunity to serve one another by washing feet, and an opportunity to receive communion.

On October 21, in both of our morning worship gatherings we will have a special time of dedication for our ministry center and then an Open House from 2-5 p.m. Our District Executive Don Booz will be on hand for the festivities. We have invited area Church of the Brethren congregations and the community to come and see what God has done! This day will mark the official day when we throw in the towel on the MAJOR renovations we will do to the ministry center! We hope to have only small punch list items left to do after this date!

It’s time for each of us to throw in the towel! Read John 13:1-17 and consider how you can throw in the towel by serving others in the name of Jesus and with the love of Jesus. We truly want this building that we purchased to be a ministry center and we want to be good neighbors… so, how can you/ we throw in the towel and make an impact in the life of our community and neighbors? How can we share Jesus’ love?

Won’t you join me in throwing in the towel as we humbly love and serve Jesus?

Together on the Journey….
