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!
CHRISTMAS CRAFT FAIR
The next Craft Fair work session is Friday, November 17th, 7PM, at Pastor Danny and Richard's. Call 906-1936 for directions. Come on out, join the fun, socialize, learn a new skill, 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?
TAKIN' IT TO THE STREETS
We had great time at The Rose last weekend for our November "Takin' It to the Streets." Thanks to everyone who either helped or came out to support this outreach ministry of MCC of CC. Since everyone normally has a full social calendar for December, we are taking December off. But look for more details for January's event!
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. With our community, there should be more than enough decorating talent and strong backs to make our sanctuary "absolutely fabulous" for Advent. Please see Mary Jo Smith for dates and further details.
WORLD AIDS DAY SERVICE
This year's World AIDS Day service will be held at MCC of Corpus Christi, Friday December 1st, at 7:00PM. Please see Pastor Danny if you are able and willing to help with this service.
