Praise be to God from Whom All Blessings Flow!
Summer is here! It is a time for vacations, fun, and..ministry! Read on for ways you can become involved in the life of your church-MCC of Corpus Christi-to be blessed and to be a blessing to others!
BOARD OF TRUSTEES OPENINGS:

Please see Jim Gott, Clayton Hill, or Mary Jo Smith for application forms and position descriptions. The deadline for submitting applications is June 3, 2007 immediately following morning worship. No late applications will be accepted.
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 is leading a study entitled, "Good God Questions." Join us on Wednesday evenings at 6:30PM in the Fellowship Hall of the church. All are welcome!
SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS AND SUPPORT MCC AT THE SAME TIME
On Sunday, June 10th, beginning at 4PM, The Texas Riviera Empire will be hosting a cookout featuring barbeque chicken and all the fixin's at the Hidden Door. For only $5, not only can you share the good news of God's inclusive love with our community, not only can you support MCC of CC (proceeds of this event benefit MCC of CC and TRE), but you can also sample some of the best cooking in South Texas! Where can you beat it?
DESSERT AUCTION IS RESCHEDULED
Break out the flour, the sugar, the eggs, and those cake pans! The Dessert Auction has been rescheduled for Sunday, June 10th at 12:30PM. Come on out and support the Delegates Fund, and satisfy the cravings of your sweet tooth. Everyone is welcome!

COMING THIS SUNDAY, JUNE 3rd:
Summer is a great time to be a tourist, isn't it? But while being a tourist can cover a multitude of sins when we are out of town, there are some things the locals will just not accept. Somebody should have told Paul and Silas this when they were touring Philippi. Join us this Sunday, as Pastor Danny brings the message, "Inconvenient Truths," based on Acts 16:16-34.

Praise be to God from Whom All Blessings Flow!
Well, we received our Certificate of Occupancy from the City of Corpus Christi at 3PM on Friday, May 4th, and the carpet installers were finishing up at 4PM on Saturday the 5th, but.
WE ARE HERE!!!
Last Sunday was a fabulous celebration of God's blessings to our community, as we held our first worship service in our new home, affectionately known as, "501." The Holy Spirit was definitely with us as one person made a decision for Christ; we received 2 people into membership, and outdid ourselves with a wonderful potluck after the service.
First, thanks to everyone who was able to assist us in anyway with this transition process. Know that you are loved and appreciated! While we are here, there is still plenty to do, as we hang pictures, bulletin boards, repair and paint our bathrooms, hang outside signage, and stripe our parking lot. If you are able to help with any of these tasks, please notify any Board member. We will give you more information and work day dates as they are scheduled.
FOOD PANTRY RECEIVES DONATION FROM TRE
Thanks be to God! At the Investiture ceremonies for The Royal Sovereign Imperial Court of the Texas Riviera Empire (TRE) last Saturday night, Pastor Danny was presented with a check for approximately $2,300 to be used for our Food Pantry. This gift is such a huge blessing, as we are 1 of only 2 pantries in the 78401 zip code.
MORE FOOD PANTRY NEWS!
Our Food Pantry is also receiving a FREE freezer from the Corpus Christi Food Bank! This freezer will enable us to take advantage of the free bread and pastries sometimes provided by the Food Bank.
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 interesting study.

This Week at MCC of Corpus Christi
May 1st, 2007
Happy May Day!
WE ARE IN THE HOMESTRETCH!!!
As you read this e-letter, "our" plumber has either finished, or is in the process of finishing the last of our city-mandated plumbing repairs. What that means is we will be having "company" (city inspectors) for most of the remainder of this week. Please be in prayer regarding these final inspections, as well as our carpet installation scheduled for Friday of this week.
Once the inspectors and contractors have cleared out, all we have left is "make pretty" on Saturday, as we set up our sanctuary for our first worship service on May 6th! Please remember that we will be asking people to remain outside for the blessing of the building before we all process in together for our first worship experience at "501."
Thanks to everyone who has stepped up in any way to help make our transition as smooth as possible. There are still 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 have now "left the building," as the old saying goes. Thanks so much to everyone who pitched in to help us sort and move our belongings from "1315" to "501." If you have a key to our former church home, please turn it in to the church office, or to any Board member. We will be turning all our keys in to the leadership of the Loving Spoonful in the next week.

POTLUCK AT 501

Happy May Day!
WE ARE IN THE HOMESTRETCH!!!
As you read this e-letter, "our" plumber has either finished, or is in the process of finishing the last of our city-mandated plumbing repairs. What that means is we will be having "company" (city inspectors) for most of the remainder of this week. Please be in prayer regarding these final inspections, as well as our carpet installation scheduled for Friday of this week.
Once the inspectors and contractors have cleared out, all we have left is "make pretty" on Saturday, as we set up our sanctuary for our first worship service on May 6th! Please remember that we will be asking people to remain outside for the blessing of the building before we all process in together for our first worship experience at "501."
Thanks to everyone who has stepped up in any way to help make our transition as smooth as possible. There are still 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 have now "left the building," as the old saying goes. Thanks so much to everyone who pitched in to help us sort and move our belongings from "1315" to "501." If you have a key to our former church home, please turn it in to the church office, or to any Board member. We will be turning all our keys in to the leadership of the Loving Spoonful in the next week.
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 interesting study.
UFMCC EASTERN EUROPE LOVE OFFERING
You did it again! Thanks to your generosity, we were able to send a check for $224.00 to UFMCC Headquarters to help with our denomination's work in Eastern Europe. Thanks for your support!

We are planning a potluck for our first service at "501" on May 6th! Please contact Mary Jo Smith at 994-7791 if you are able to bring one of your culinary masterpieces and/or assist with set up and clean up.
