This Week at MCC of Corpus Christi
January 23, 2007
Good afternoon!
Last week, the Pastor preached on the subject of the Body of Christ, and how we are all celebrated and loved members of that body. He also challenged everyone to begin figuring out how just where they fit in the body-both locally, as well as in the Body of Christ universal. So, read on! You might just be able to find your "fit" with one (or more) of our upcoming events!
THURSDAY NIGHT BIBLE STUDIES HAVE MOVED TO WEDNESDAYS!
The Thursday Night Bible Study Group has moved to Wednesdays! Join us at Pastor Danny and Richard's on January 24th, as we continue our study of Lost Christianities. We have another 2 or 3 weeks of this study, then we will begin a Lenten study in mid to late February.
DESSERT AUCTION RESULTS
Thanks so much to everyone who was able to participate in ANY way in last week's Dessert Auction. Thanks to your generosity, we were able to raise $302.00 for our Conference Fund! Couldn't make this event? Not to worry-we are doing it again in March!
AND SPEAKING OF THE CONFERENCE FUND.
Wondering what to do with that old cell phone you no longer use? Wonder no more! Bring your old cell phones to us and we will send them to be recycled! Not only will you be practicing good stewardship of the environment, you will also be helping raise money for our Conference Fund. Please see Andy Wilcox for more details.
GRACE CHURCH OPENS AT MCC OF CC SUNDAY AFTERNOONS
Christian Garrett, former pastor of St. Paul's United Church of Christ began a new work, "Grace Church" last Sunday, January 21st at 3:00 p.m. in our sanctuary. There was also a wonderful article in the Caller Times this past Monday about this new work, as well. Grace Church is an open and affirming Christian community of faith where everyone is welcome. If you know anyone who cannot make morning or evening services on Sundays, tell them about Grace Church!
