This Week at MCC of Corpus Christi
December 19th, 2006
Good morning!
We are just days away from celebrating the coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In this "crunch time" of hustle and bustle (even around the church), may we all take time to reflect on why we celebrate Christmas, and may those reflections have a positive impact on how we schedule our time not only in this season, but also throughout the year.
CHRISTMAS NURSING HOME OUTREACH
This year, for the first time, MCC of Corpus Christi will be visiting 2 nursing homes, and providing companionship and small gifts to those residents who do not have family and/or friends who visit them.
Remember that TONIGHT at 6:30 PM, Rockport Coastal Care Residents will be enjoying food, music, and fellowship at their annual Christmas party. Due to the generosity of both members and non-members of our congregation, we were able to provide gifts for residents who normally do not have family or friends to visit them.
TOMORROW (Wednesday) at 2:00 PM, the residents of the Palms (on Everhart near Holly) will be enjoying their annual Christmas party. Friends and family of MCC of CC came through in a big way, as we provided gifts for residents who normally do not have family or friends to visit them.
We have been invited to attend both events. So, if you would like to attend either event, please call the church office at 882-8255 for driving directions.
MCC OF CC CAROLING
We are going to be singing out all over the Coastal Bend this year! Join us Wednesday, December 20th at 5:30PM, as we meet at the church before heading out to sing at various member homes as well as Padre Behavioral Hospital.
Also, on Saturday, December 23rd, we will be caroling at The Palms at 2:30PM. From there, we will head over to Pastor Danny and Richard's home for food and fellowship before heading to Rockport Coastal Care for caroling beginning at 7:00PM. Everyone is welcome to these events!
CHRISTMAS CRAFT FAIR
The MCC of CC Crafters have been working hard since August, preparing all kinds of great Christmas gifts for your shopping pleasure (and having a lot of laughs along the way, as well). Make sure to check out our fantastic homemade gifts this Sunday after church! That's right! The MCC of CC Crafters are "bringin' it to you" by setting up a table of our crafts for sale during Social Hour each Sunday through December 24th 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?
AND NOW, due to the generosity of a friend of MCC of CC, we now have one of those fabulous Cracker Barrel rockers to auction off. Tickets are $1.00 each, or 6 for $5.00. We will be drawing the winning ticket Sunday evening after the evening service.

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. Thanks to everyone who has volunteered to help with this service. This year's theme is "Remembrance, Renewal, Rebirth." Our own Don Holder and Apache Molina will join the Community Choir led by Robert McCarty, and Rev. Christian Garrett of St. Paul's United Church of Christ will be bringing the message.
CHRISTMAS CRAFT FAIR
The next Craft Fair work session is Saturday, December 2nd, 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 Sunday, December 10th 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?
CHRISTMAS NURSING HOME OUTREACH
This year, for the first time, MCC of Corpus Christi will be visiting 2 nursing homes, and providing companionship and small gifts to those residents who do not have family and/or friends who visit them. Please see Mary Jo Smith to learn more about how you can help bring some joy this Christmas season to some folks who may feel lonely and unloved. Let's be beacons of God's love and hope!
INQUIRER'S CLASS
If you are interested in learning more about MCC of CC, and/or interested in possibly becoming a voting member of our church family, Pastor Danny will be leading an Inquirer's Class Sunday December 10th at 12:30-ish (right after Social Time following the morning service). Please contact the church office if you would like to attend this class so we may be sure to have a packet of information prepared for you.
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!

"My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."
(This would explain all the noise on SPID, now wouldn't it?)
See you in church!
