This Week at MCC of Corpus Christi
January 30, 2007
Good morning!
CONGREGATIONAL MEETING CALLED FOR FEBRUARY 25TH, 2007
A Congregational Meeting has been called for Sunday, February 25th, 2007 at 12:30PM. The purpose of this meeting is to vote on a proposal to purchase the property located at 501 South Staples Street to be used as our next church home.
During the month of February, we are planning to host 2 open houses so members and friends may have a chance to view the property. We are also planning to host 1 congregational forum to discuss the financial commitment required of our congregation to both purchase and maintain this property. The dates and times of the open houses and congregational forum will be finalized and announced by next week. The pastor has called our community to a time of prayer as we discern the future movement and direction of our community of faith.
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 31st, 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.
RECYCLE YOUR OLD CELL PHONE AND SUPPORT YOUR CHURCH!
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!
