2. Astros Game, Friday May 22nd vs the Texas Rangers...contact Jimmy Herndon for more info

3. Motorcyle Crusin'- if you like to ride, let Bob Henry know: RHenry429@comcast.net

4. Fishing- We're headed to a stocked pond sometime soon and Joey Alemendarez is heading it up. If you want more info contact him: jalmendarez@farmersagent.com

5. Men's Summer Softball League- starts in June...contact Mark Chavarria: mcmaxout@hotmail.com

Impact Group in action!

I know that many of you at COF love to serve. Here are some pictures of one of our singles groups serving at the Wies House. 

For those that don't know what the Weis House is, I'll give you the Readers Digest version. About 2 years ago, COF came across this awesome lady named Sheri Weis. She and her husband had been working diligently to take in a bunch of special needs children who were bi-products of fetal alcohol syndrome. Her only problem was the house they were living in couldn't support the children's special needs very well. So, the church came together to help her out and reconstruct her entire house kind of like the TV Show "Extreme Home Makeover". Ever since that time, Community of Faith has helped organize the home and serve these special children through our "Weis Warriors". The singles group in the above pictures are serving these awesome kids, just as our Weis Warriors do every week!

Thanks for checking out the Blog!

COF and Motorcycles...

Community Groups update from COF: motorcycle enthusiasts from all ages (that go to Community of Faith) went on a ride last Saturday, April 25th. It was a huge success! There were almost 20 riders who came out. Let me say a HUGE thanks to Bob Henry who organized this event. Without him, it just would not have been possible. Above are some pictures submitted by Donald Butler, Worship Pastor at COF- big thanks to him as well. Enjoy these pics and if you have some you'd like to submit to the blog, send them my way: blakej@communityoffaith.tv

For those that didn't get to participate, don't worry...there are more rides coming up! 

Thanks!

Summer is almost here!

Well folks,

We're wrapping up another great semester of groups at Community of Faith. Close to seventy groups met this spring and members formed new relationships and experienced spiritual growth. There were group topics for all types of people, in all walks of life. We are looking forward to the future with great anticipation as we develop more opportunities for people to connect to God, connect with each other and grow at COF.

This spring, as "Thursdays at COF" continued we saw hundreds of men and women gather together for these connection opportunities.

As summer rapidly approaches, our groups begin to wind down and take a break. If you are looking for a way to connect this summer, some of our men are putting together some fun events such as a fishing trip, some golf outings and a few motorcycle rides. If you would like more info about how to get involved please contact the following people:

Joey Almendarez- for fishing- jalmendarez@farmersagent.com

Bob Henry- for motorcycle rides- rhenry429@comcast.net

Lance Price- for golf- lancep@communityoffaith.tv

Have a Great summer!

New Community Group Semester is Here!

Hello all,

We hope that everyone is doing great and doing all that they can to get plugged into a Community Group. This weekend at COF is the last official weekend to sign-up for a group, so please see Jimmy Herndon in the lobby at the sign-up table for more information. There is still room to sign up as we have many new groups meeting this semester that are covering a variety of topics and genres.

Also- if a Community Group is a step you're not ready to take, Community of Faith has weekly meetings every Thursday night at 7pm. Every week a different group of people get together to share some food, conversation and get connected with the people of COF. The first Thursdays- the Men of COF meet, the 2nd Thursdays the Women of COF meet, the 3rd Thursdays- Couples of COF meet and the last Thursdays the Singles of COF. Every 5th Thursday there will be a special marriage group meeting too.

Let us know if we can do anything to help you get connected!

Thanks,

Community Group Staff

IMPACT Groups at work...

Hello again,

I hope all of you are having a great week, because we certainly are in the busy world of Community Groups. We wanted to highlight one of our many IMPACT Groups this week and show you first hand, just how these people are influencing our community. The following pictures are of a project that Jerry Roberts' team undertook a couple weeks ago. They took it upon themselves to help a family who desperately needed some home repairs. They all worked together and accomplished something great---way to go guys.

For those unfamiliar with IMPACT groups...these groups consist of people within Community of Faith who meet on a weekly basis, grow together in Christ and have rallied around the cause of social change in the local area. Every IMPACT group that meets selects a project to be apart of. The associations we work with are varied and numerous, but here are a couple we've established partnerships with: Habitat for Humanity and Boys and Girls Country.

Stick around for more coming soon, 

-Jimmy and Blake
