This Week at MCC of Corpus Christi
April 24th, 2007
Good morning!
WE ARE IN THE HOMESTRETCH!!!
God continues to bless us as we move forward toward starting life together in our new home at 501 South Staples. This last week we made major progress in moving our belongings from 1315 Craig to "501," as well as completed all our initial painting projects, and other minor repairs.
The fire door in the Sanctuary is now installed and looks great! We are expecting a passing grade from the City Fire Dept. later today. Our city-mandated plumbing repairs are scheduled for completion today, as well. Our goal for this week is to have all our city inspections completed. Please be in prayer about these inspections.
There has been a slight "glitch" with the carpet installation. Long story short, we were sold the wrong style of carpet for our needs. Lowe's has come through in fine fashion, however, by providing MCC of CC with a FREE carpet upgrade that meets our needs. So, while the carpet will not be installed for another week, and the pastor lost a few more precious gray hairs from his "solar panel" in the process, in the end, we are blessed yet again!
REMEMBER: The date of our first service at "501" is 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.
AND AT 1315 CRAIG STREET.
We are now shifting our focus a bit from "501" back to "1315," as we continue to move our belongings from Craig Street to South Staples. This moving is going to be the focus of our work days over the next few weekends. Please contact Bob Yates at 855-5714, or Tom Thrower at 937-6866 for more details about how you can help.
POWERED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT
We still may not have electrical power at 1315 Craig Street, but we are being powered by the Holy Spirit, and that is something that AEP can't EVER turn off! Amen?
Still, we know having no electricity can be annoying and inconvenient. The landlord is in the process of making the city-mandated repairs necessary to have the power restored. We appreciate your patience during this time of transition.
UPDATE: Our landlord indicated on Monday the 23rd that we should have electrical power for our final service at 1315 Craig Street. Thanks again for your patience, and thanks be to God for this blessing!
GOOD GOD QUESTIONS
Have you ever wondered why God allows suffering, or why bad things happen to good people? Most of us have asked these questions during the course of our lives. Pastor Danny will be leading a study on "Good God Questions" beginning Wednesday, April 25th. The first week (or maybe two) will be held at he and Richard's home while we complete our move from Craig Street to South Staples. Please contact the church for more information about this
TEXAS A&M CC THEATRE PRESENTS THE LARAMIE PROJECT
We are excited to invite you to attend our performance of The Laramie Project in late April. The performance is a great opportunity for all patrons of the arts and it will provide a unique experience to see a story presented through the eyes of the town. The story sends a strong message of not just equality for some, but equality for all.
The Laramie Project
by Moises Kaufman and the Tectonic Theater Project
directed by Don Luna
April 19-22, 26-29
On a clear, cold, Wyoming morning in October 1998, University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard was found tied to a fence in the middle of nowhere and left for dead. Compiled from over 200 interviews with Laramie citizens and people directly affected by Matthew Shepard's life and death, The Laramie Project brings awareness to the key components of his murder and the crucial weeks that followed. This breathtaking theatrical collage explores the depths to which humanity can sink, and the heights of compassion of which we are also capable.
For ticket information, call the University Theatre Box Office
at 825-5800 or email us at
" University.Theatre@tamucc.edu "
Box Office Hours are: Monday-Friday, 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
Also, after the play, the TAMUCC Gay/Straight Alliance is hosting a "talk about" or LGBT Night on the subject of hate crimes and tolerance. Contact dalyhaspowers@gmail.com, mention MCC of CC, and receive a discount on the price of the ticket, too!
LOVE OFFERING ON APRIL 29th
We will be taking a love offering on Sunday, April 29th to help UFMCC with their important ministry work in Eastern Europe. MCC of Corpus Christi is definitely a loving and caring congregation. So let's do our best to show our sisters and brothers in Eastern Europe that we support their efforts to share God's life changing love for all people in their part of the world!

MCC OF CORPUS CHRISTI IS MOVING-SLOWLY, BUT SURELY

Other than these minor details, we have contractors scheduled to install a second exit door in our sanctuary (required by the city), and replace the toilets in our bathrooms (again, required by the city). Carpet is scheduled to be installed in the Fellowship Hall and Sanctuary next Monday and Tuesday. After these jobs are completed, it will be time for our final building inspections.

This Week at MCC of Corpus Christi
April 10th, 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. Our electrical power was restored late last week, and last Saturday we continued to clean the property and prepare it for more inspections, painting, and minor repairs.
Thanks to everyone who helped organize the initial move of our belongings from Craig Street to 501! You are both loved and appreciated!
REMEMBER: 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.
YOU GET THE POWER TURNED ON IN ONE PLACE AND.
If you were with us for Easter services, you probably noticed it was a little "nippy" in the sanctuary. In case you were wondering, we really were not trying to re-enact the first Easter morning. Due to circumstances beyond our control, the electricity was shut off at 1315 Craig Street last week. The city inspector did a "walk through" early this week, and there is some repair work our landlord will need to complete before the power is restored. The landlord has sincerely apologized for this inconvenience, and is working hard to have the required repairs done as soon as possible.
In the meantime, pleasant temperatures are forecast for this Sunday. Thanks for your patience!
CHURCH OFFICE AND FOOD PANTRY CLOSED
The church office and Food Pantry will be closed this week, April 9th-14th, and will reopen on Monday, April 16th at 501 South Staples. Phone messages will be checked daily, and all calls will be returned.
AND WHEN THE PANTRY REOPENS.
Help Wanted! A volunteer to help with the congregation's Food Bank Ministry. Working hours are flexible, Monday or Wednesday (morning hours). The job is labor intensive involving moving cartons full of food and packing food baskets for clients. A good way to get your exercise...and maintain your suave figure...
If you are interested, call the church office and ask for some "on-the-job" training. One month, one year, forever, you will be glad you did!
Our Food Bank serves about 100 families every month. Is it an "easy ministry"? Not even close...is it rewarding? You Bet! A special thanks to Randy Steele for being one of our volunteers these past few months. We wish both him and David Carter the best blessings available as they leave our area and continue being vagabonds!

Easter Potluck: This year, Mary Jo Smith is coordinating our Annual Easter Potluck. Please see her to sign up to bring a covered dish, to help set up, clean up, any or all of the above!
Easter Egg Hunt: We will be having an Easter Egg Hunt as part of our Easter Celebration next week. Please see Annette Berdan to find out how you can help make this annual event a fun time for our kids.
CHURCH OFFICE AND FOOD PANTRY CLOSED
The church office and Food Pantry will be closed this week, April 9th-14th, and will reopen on Monday, April 16th at 501 South Staples. Phone messages will be checked daily, and all calls will be returned.
AND WHEN THE PANTRY REOPENS.
Help Wanted! A volunteer to help with the congregation's Food Bank Ministry. Working hours are flexible, Monday or Wednesday (morning hours). The job is labor intensive involving moving cartons full of food and packing food baskets for clients. A good way to get your exercise...and maintain your suave figure...
If you are interested, call the church office and ask for some "on-the-job" training. One month, one year, forever, you will be glad you did!
Our Food Bank serves about 100 families every month. Is it an "easy ministry"? Not even close...is it rewarding? You Bet! A special thanks to Randy Steele for being one of our volunteers these past few months. We wish both him and David Carter the best blessings available as they leave our area and continue being vagabonds!
LOVE OFFERING ON APRIL 29th
We will be taking a love offering on Sunday, April 29th to help UFMCC with their important ministry work in Eastern Europe. MCC of Corpus Christi is definitely a loving and caring congregation. So let's do our best to show our sisters and brothers in Eastern Europe that we support their efforts to share God's life changing love for all people in their part of the world!
