This Week at MCC of Corpus Christi
March 28th, 2007
Good afternoon!
MCC OF CORPUS CHRISTI IS MOVING!!! (JUST A LITTLE LATER NOW)
God continues to bless us as we move forward toward starting life together in our new home at 501 South Staples. This past week we experienced a "glitch" in the paperwork needed to transfer the electric into the name of our church. Basically, our electric provider forgot to submit all our paperwork to AEP, who in turn disconnected power to the building. However, that issue has now been resolved with an electrical inspection by the city, and we should be "powered up" by no later than Thursday of this week.
We now have a list of city inspections which need to be completed before we hold services at "501." So, we have decided to continue to work on the building while scheduling the inspections. For these reasons, we have moved the date of our first service at "501" to Sunday, May 6th. We will continue to update you about workdays and any other changes that may happen during this time.
Thanks to everyone who has stepped up in any way to help make our transition as smooth as possible. There are many ways you can be part of this exciting time in our church. Just check with any Board member to find out how! Please continue to keep our community of faith in prayer as we move forward.
"THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY!" (ON WEDNESDAYS)
Join us for Bible Study Wednesdays, beginning at 6:30PM in the Community Board Room of the church. Pastor Danny is leading a book study, "Thank God It's Friday," that takes a look at the seven last words from the cross. This book has generated some very deep and interesting discussions. The class is free, and all are welcome!
TORTILLA HEAVEN COMING TO CORPUS CHRISTI
Grace Church and Vicarious Productions present "Tortilla Heaven" performed by Jade Esteban Estrada here in Corpus Christi on March 31st at 7:30pm at 1315 Craig Street. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students/seniors, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. You can email TortillaHeavenCC@aol.com for ticket information or contact Brian Moore at 658-2084.
"Tortilla Heaven" is a play based on family and tradition, and sheds a comedic light on the struggle that many second and third generation Mexican Americans go through with trying to hold on to their culture.
Each character has their own unique struggle with trying to find the balance between assimilation into the American culture while still holding true to the roots, culture, language and ultimately themselves. Estrada plays seven characters in the bilingual play in order to show the different types of people and personalities that make up a traditional Mexican family in today's society.

Good afternoon!
MCC OF CORPUS CHRISTI IS MOVING!!!
God continues to bless us as we move forward toward starting life together in our new home at 501 South Staples. Last weekend was phenomenal, as about 20 people showed up to paint, clean, mow, rake, weed, laugh together, dream, and of course-EAT! This weekend we plan to finish the painting projects required before move in, continue clearing the parking lot and surrounding area, and prepping the floor for next week's carpet installation.

This Week at MCC of Corpus Christi
March 13th, 2007
Good afternoon!
MCC OF CORPUS CHRISTI IS MOVING!!!
Last Friday marked the beginning of a new phase of our journey as a community of faith, as we closed on the property located at 501 South Staples. The energy is certainly positive and high around our move, and that is great! Already we have removed baseboards so carpet can be installed later this month, the electrical poles in the future sanctuary space have been removed, the locks have been changed, and the floors have been cleared in both the future sanctuary and fellowship/office/pantry areas. The plan this week is for the previous owner to remove his property, transfer the utilities into the name of the church, order the carpet and schedule the installation, and maybe even get some painting done this weekend!
Thanks to everyone who has stepped up in any way to help make our transition as smooth as possible. There are many ways you can be part of this exciting time in our church. Just check with any Board member to find out how!

This Week at MCC of Corpus Christi
February 27, 2007
Good afternoon!
Many times, the season of Lent is described as a time of reflection, yet forward movement in our lives. Well, this year at MCC of CC, we are taking forward movement to a whole new level! We encourage all our members and friends to be part of what is sure to be a very exciting-and yes, sometimes challenging-stage of our journey together as a community of faith.
MCC OF CORPUS CHRISTI IS MOVING!!!
The voting membership present at our Special Congregational Meeting last Sunday voted to purchase the building and property at 501 South Staples as our next church home! The plan at this time is for us to hold our first worship service in the new space on Easter Sunday, April 8th. Please see any Board member to let us know how you are able to help with this move. We especially need folks with trucks to help move some of our possessions to our new home. We will keep you updated as to the progress of this important transition. Thanks so much for being an important part of this next stage in our journey together as a community of faith!
"THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY!" (ON WEDNESDAYS)
Join us for Bible Study Wednesday, February 28th, beginning at 6:30PM in the Community Board Room of the church. Pastor Danny will be leading a book study, "Thank God It's Friday," that takes a look at the seven last words from the cross. All are welcome!
TORTILLA HEAVEN COMING TO CORPUS CHRISTI
Grace Church and Vicarious Productions present "Tortilla Heaven" performed by Jade Esteban Estrada here in Corpus Christi on March 31st at 7:30pm at 1315 Craig Street. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students/seniors, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. You can email TortillaHeavenCC@aol.com for ticket information or contact Brian Moore at 658-2084.
"Tortilla Heaven" is a play based on family and tradition, and sheds a comedic light on the struggle that many second and third generation Mexican Americans go through with trying to hold on to their culture.
Each character has their own unique struggle with trying to find the balance between assimilation into the American culture while still holding true to the roots, culture, language and ultimately themselves. Estrada plays seven characters in the bilingual play in order to show the different types of people and personalities that make up a traditional Mexican family in today's society.
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! 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.
