November 21st, 2006
Good morning!
In this week of Thanksgiving, may we all be thankful for God's abundant blessings to us. May we also remember to share our abundance with others so that they may experience God's light and love in their lives. Let's keep everyone in our prayers for travel mercies, and may we remember those who may spend this holiday alone. In fact, if you know of such a person, why not invite them to your home to share a meal? You will both be blessed, and when we share of our blessings with others, God smiles. In other words, it's a good thing all around.
CHRISTMAS CRAFT FAIR
The next Craft Fair work session is Saturday, 7PM, at Diane and Mary Jo's. Call 882-8255 for directions. Come on out, join the fun, socialize, help us bake some cookies for the last Craft Fair session for this year, and raise money for the ministries of MCC of CC! Everyone is welcome!
Also, make sure to check out our fantastic homemade gifts beginning Sundays in December after church! That's right! The MCC Crafters are "bringin' it to you" by setting up a table of our crafts for sale during Social Hour each Sunday in December after church. So, bring your pocketbook or wallet and your Christmas List. Where else can you find great food, fellowship, AND do your Christmas shopping without the hassles of mall traffic?
THURSDAY NIGHT BIBLE STUDY
The Thursday Night Bible Study Group has started watching and discussing a DVD series on "Lost Christianities." This study explores the diversity of Christian practices during the first few centuries after Jesus' ascension, as well as some of the writings that did not make into the Bible. Everyone is welcome to attend these weekly study groups, so come on out! PLEASE NOTE: The location for this class has been changed to Pastor Danny and Richard's home due to technical difficulties at the church. Call the church for directions to their home if you would like to attend this study. Don't worry-we'll make room!
SANCTUARY DECORATING PARTY!!!
It is that time of year once again to decorate our Sanctuary for Advent.

The Party starts at the church this Saturday (November 25th). Call the church for the time!

This Week at MCC of Corpus Christi
November 16th, 2006
Good morning!
Well, there is definitely a slight "nip" in the air this morning as a cold front has arrived. Since it is supposed to be a bit chilly this evening, too, this would be the perfect time to curl up with your Bible or favorite devotional, and spend some "quality time" with God. Maybe as part of that time, you can begin to discern how God would have you to participate in the life of your church. There's always something going on at MCC of CC. Just read on and see!

This Week at MCC of Corpus Christi
November 7th, 2006
Good evening!
Today is Election Day! Hopefully everyone voted, because voting is just one more way to practice good stewardship of the privilege of having a voice in the election of our government's representatives. And you know the old saying, right? "If you don't vote, don't...complain."
MCC OF CC OUT IN THE COMMUNITY
This week we are spotlighting one of our MCC of CC members who is out volunteering in the community. The following article is from the CASA Chronicle:
Billie Harvey was sworn in as a CASA in March, 2006. By coincidence, Billie had seen a CASA brochure while at work. Her love of children, and her interest in advocating for those who can't speak for themselves, brought her to us. Billie is a military retiree who currently is employed by the U.S. Navy as Director of Bachelor Housing. She is dedicated to her church and currently serves as clerk of the Board of Directors. She also has volunteered on base working with children at the Boys and Girls Club, as well as working with church youth groups. As if she isn't busy enough, Billie will be completing her Bachelors degree in 2007. She has a natural way of relating to children, and has a way of teaching when communicating with them. Billie enjoys the challenges of teenagers and took a case with three teenagers who regularly run away. She always seems to be right behind them and is quick to get them settled down until one of them decides to take off again. Her open mindedness, together with her willingness to listen, makes her a great mentor for the kids. Thanks Billie! Thank you for all your loving work!
Way to go, Billie!
